ABOUT  THIS  ISSUE 








Nick  Thierry 

This  is  very  special  issue  remembering  the  1976 
Olympics  from  30  years  ago. 

Canadian  swimmers  had  their  finest  hour  that 
summer  in  Montreal.  Canada  won  11  medals  in 
Montreal,  with  swimmers  winning  eight.  We  were 
the  toast  of  Canadian  sport.  Cheryl  Gibson,  Nancy 
Garapick,  and  Becky  Smith  won  individual  medals, 
with  both  women's  relays  winning  bronze. 

The  men  took  the  silver  in  the  4x100  medley. 
It  was  the  start  of  other  triumphs.  In  1978,  when 
Canada  hosted  the  Commonwealth  Games,  we  bested 
the  Australians  for  the  only  time.  The  1980  Olympic 
Games  was  a  bust,  as  the  Canadian  government 
forced  a  boycott  of  the  Moscow  Olympics.  The  1984 
Olympics  was  another  triumph  with  10  medals  as 
the  Soviet  bloc  boycotted  the  Games  in  Los  Angeles. 

With  superlative  performances  in  1976  the 
result  of  a  vigorous  Canadian  club  system,  some  of 
the  great  swims  are  still  at  the  top  of  the  age-group 
rankings.  Check  pages  32-38  for  our  exclusive  all- 
time  TAG  performances,  only  available  in  print 
form  in  SwimNews. 


Craig  Lord  attended  the  6th  reunion  of  the 
former  GDR  (German  Democratic  Republic) 
Olympians  in  Riesa,  in  October — a  real  eye-opener. 
It  was  revealed  years  later  that  the  GDR  team  stayed 
on  a  ship  in  the  Montreal  harbour,  and  once  the 
Games  were  finished,  all  the  used  syringes  and 
drugs  were  tossed  into  the  St.  Lawrence  River. 

Adam  Sioui  was  a  teammate  of  Ryan  Lochte 
(USA)  at  the  University  of  Florida.  Who  better  to 
explain  why  Lochte  is  great  and  how  he  rose  to 
stardom.  The  article  is  on  pages  10-11. 

Howard  Firby  died  in  1991  but  his  greatness 
lives  on.  His  article  on  page  12  on  The  Idea  of 
Excellence  explains  how  we  learned  to  aim  higher. 
The  article  first  appeared  in  1985,  but  is  timeless. 

Jeff  Grace  writes  on  the  age-group  success  at 
Langley  Olympians,  a  rare  coach-run  club  in  BC. 
Brian  Metcalfe  learned,  after  bitter  experience,  that 
the  only  way  he  would  remain  in  the  sport  was  if  he 
could  be  in  charge.  The  story  is  on  page  13,  and  the 
seven  club  members  who  have  qualified  for  youth 
and  junior  national  teams  are  proof  of  his  success. 

Justin  Finney  talked  with  SNC's  Pierre 
Lafontaine  about  the  National  Centres  in  Vancouver 


and  Montreal.  With  Paul  Bergen  and  Josef  Nagy 
as  additions  to  coaching,  the  centres  are  more  a 
resource  than  a  threat. 

Nikki  Dryden  was  a  teammate  of  Leanne 
Wilkinson  in  the  late  1980s  in  Victoria.  Leanne 
recently  returned  to  the  sport,  and  her  story  is  on 
page  15. 

The  on-going  series  on  Yoga  continues  on 
page  16  with  freestyle  as  the  focus  of  the  various 
exercises. 

After  numerous  inquiries  on  what  to  eat  at 
competitions,  Nikki  Dryden  gives  basic  advice  on 
page  19. 

Cecil  Colwin,  in  part  five  of  the  Evolution  of  the 
Crawl,  writes  on  the  period  1930-1940  when  theory 
and  practice  clashed.  Profusely  illustrated  from 
his  personal  collection,  wrong  techniques  and  the 
teaching  of  same  held  back  progress  for  20  years. 

The  biggest  controversy  currently  is  the  IOC's 
decision  to  move  the  swimming  finals  to  mornings 
in  Beijing.  This  would  allow  them  to  be  in  evening 
prime  time  in  the  east  coast  of  the  USA.  Craig  Lord's 
extensive  commentary  is  on  pages  26-27. 

Next  issue  will  be  mailed  at  the  end  of  the  year.  ■

SWIM 


THIRTY  YEARS  AGO  CANADIAN 
SWIMMERS  MADE  HISTORY 


Nick  Thierry 

The  biggest-ever  swim  competition  to  be  held  in 
Canada  was  the  21st  Summer  Olympic  Games  in 
Montreal  1976. 

Our  trials  produced  the  largest  and  strongest- 
ever  contingent,  and  their  overall  take  of  two  silver 
and  six  bronze  medals  is  twice  as  good  as  our  1972 
showing  and  the  best-ever  international  performance 
by  a  Canadian  team  in  any  individual  sport. 

True,  we  did  not  win  any  events  as  some  had 
hoped  and,  outside  of  the  major  powers  like  the  US 
and  the  GDR  and  the  very-much-improved  Soviet 
Union,  Canada  was  the  most  improved  team  since 
1975  or  the  last  Olympic  Games. 

The  top  performer  of  the  Olympic  swim  events 
was  Kornelia  Ender  of  the  German  Democratic 
Republic  (GDR),  who  won  three  individual  events, 
one  relay,  and  had  an  additional  silver  in  the  free 
relay.  Her  greatest  feat  was  to  double  in  consecutive 
events,  winning  both  the  100  fly  and  the  200  free  in 
world-record  times  in  the  space  of  27  minutes,  an 
unprecedented  achievement. 

In  a  meet  of  superlatives,  the  US  men's  team 
was  supreme.  They  swept  the  top  three  places  in  four 
events,  and  took  first  and  second  in  no  less  than  five 
other  events  to  give  them  28  of  a  possible  36  medals 
in  the  individual  events. 

Jim  Montgomery,  in  winning  the  100  free  with 
a  time  of  49-99,  broke  through  one  of  the  great 
barriers  of  our  sport. 

Possibly  the  finest  winning  performance  was 
Brian  Goodell's  1500  metre  victory.  The  anticipated 
sub-15-minute  time  was  narrowly  missed,  but  the 
great  race  for  all  of  the  duration  among  Goodell, 
Hackett  (USA),  and  Holland  (AUS)  will  not  be 
forgotten.  The  race  was  tactical,  with  careful  pacing 
being  the  key  to  Goodell's  ultimate  win.  The  slow 
early  phase  of  the  race  was  offset  by  Goodell's  finish, 
especially  his  final  800,  which  was  7:57.3  compared 
to  the  existing  World  Record  for  800  free  at  8:01.5. 

John  Naber  was  the  outstanding  male  swimmer 
with  double  world  record  and  gold  medal  wins  in 
the  100  and  200  back,  with  two  more  golds  in  the 
4x100  medley  and  4x200  free  relays,  and  a  silver  in 
the  200  free. 

The  best  single  winning  performance  should  be 
David  Wilkie's  (GBR)  world  record  of  2:15.11  in  the 
200  breast.  His  margin  over  second  place  was  over 
2.5  sec.  the  largest  in  a  200  in  a  men's  event. 

To  sum  up,  the  US  won  all  but  one  of  the  men's 
events,  while  the  GDR  won  11  of  12  individual 
women's  events  with  the  URS  winning  one,  the  GDR 
took  the  4x100  medley  relay  and  the  US  girls  won 
the  4x100  free  relay.  Of  the  58  countries  that  entered 


swimmers  (458  men  and  257  women),  only  eight 
got  any  medals  and  two  countries  took  82%  of  the 
medals. 

The  strongest  performers  on  the  Canadian  side 
were  our  women.  Nancy  Garapick  was  our  only 
double  medallist  in  individual  events.  She  took  the 
bronze  in  both  the  100  and  200  back  with  record 
times.  In  the  100,  it's  worth  noting  that  our  women 
placed  third,  fourth,  and  fifth  for  our  best-ever 
showing  in  an  individual  event  at  a  world  meet. 

The  most  impressive  Canadian  performance  was 
Cheryl  Gibson's  silver  medal  in  the  400  individual 
medley.  Her  time  of  4:48.10  was  a  seven-second 
improvement  over  her  trials  swim  and  approaches 
the  near-impossible  winning  times  of  the  GDR 
women.  To  make  it  even  better,  Becky  Smith  took  the 
bronze  in  this  event  to  show  everyone  that  we  can 
beat  the  German  girls,  some  of  them  in  any  case. 

The  most  unexpected  medal  was  Shannon 
Smith's  bronze  in  the  400  free  with  a  time  of  4: 14.60, 
a  five-second  improvement  since  early  June.  Shannon 
was  disappointing  in  the  800  free,  considered  her 
stronger  event,  where  she  only  finished  6th  with  a 
less-than-best-ever  time. 

Outstanding  had  to  be  Wendy  Quirk,  who  did 
not  get  a  medal  but  was  a  finalist  in  both  fly  events 
and  swam  to  record  times  in  both.  Her  100  fly  was 
1:01.54  and  the  200  fly  a  great  2:13.68. 

The  girls'  relays  were  superb,  especially  the 
4x100  medley,  where  all  the  girls  swam  to  their  best- 
ever  time;  the  splits  were  Wendy  Hogg  1 :04. 17;  Robin 
Corsiglia  1:13-6,  Susan  Sloan  1:01.59,  and  Anne 
Jardin  56.30  for  an  overall  time  of  4: 15.22, 8  seconds 
faster  than  our  best  time  in  1975. 

The  4x100  free  relay  looked  very  strong  after  the 
heat  swim  when  we  qualified  2nd  and  Barb  Clark 
split  56.59.  But  the  final  race  was  between  the  US 
and  the  GDR  and  we  swam  very  well  for  third,  with 
splits  of:  Gail  Amundrud  57.60;  Barb  Clark  57.05; 
Becky  Smith  57.1 1,  and  Anne  Jardin  57.05. 

Biggest  disappointment  was  much  heralded 
Stephen  Pickell  unable  to  make  the  final  in  his  three 
individual  events  and  then  jumping  early  in  his  leg 
of  the  4x200  relay  to  have  our  team  disqualified.

Silver  medallist  Cheryl  Gibson 

Pickell  redeemed  himself  to  a  degree  by  starting  off 
the  4x100  medley  relay  with  his  best  ever  100  back 
with  57.58. 

Our  hope  for  a  strong  showing  in  the  middle 
distance  freestyle  events,  Stephen  Badger  was  plainly 
outclassed.  He  swam  to  a  record  time  in  the  200 
and  400  free  but  only  made  finals  in  the  400  free 
finishing  8th. 

Graham  Smith  took  part  in  three  finals,  two 
in  breaststroke  and  the  400  IM.  He  put  up  a  strong 
showing  in  all  of  them.  In  the  100  breast,  he  was 
second  after  the  semifinals  with  a  1:03-92,  but  in 
the  finals,  couldn't  quite  do  that  time,  finishing 
fourth.  In  the  200  he  bettered  his  time  to  2:19.42, 
finishing  fourth  behind  the  most  seasoned  veterans 
of  the  stroke;  Wilkie,  Hencken,  and  Colella.  With  the 
retirement  of  the  above  three,  Smith  should  be  one 
of  the  contenders  of  the  stroke  in  the  next  few  years. 

Of  our  three  flyers  in  the  100,  only  Clay  Evans 
reached  the  finals  finishing  sixth  with  55.81,  while 
Bruce  Robertson  and  Pickell  didn't  get  past  the 
semifinals. 

The  4x100  medley  relay  was  our  finest-ever 
men's  performance  with  a  silver  medal  to  show  for 
it  and  a  sub-world-record  time  of  3:45-94-  Our  splits 
were:  Pickell  57.58,  Graham  Smith  1:02.59.  Clay 
Evans  54.43,  and  Gary  MacDonald  51.36.  It's  worth 
noting  that  Smith's  breast  leg  was  only  bettered 
by  world  record  holder  John  Hencken,  who  split 
1:02.51. 

A  final  comment  on  our  performance  is  that  our 
best  showing  came  in  our  strongest  events.  That  is. 
in  the  events  where  the  competition  within  Canada 
was  strongest. 

In  order  to  continue  to  improve  or  at  least  hold 
our  position  internationally,  we  have  to  ensure  that 
we  have  many  contenders  for  each  spot  on  any 
international  team  so  that  the  ultimate  winner  will 
have  to  be  a  world-record-level  performer.  That  is  the 
reason  behind  the  US  and  GDR  domination  of  the 
men's  and  women's  events.  ■

THE  RETURN  OF  A  LEGEND 

Baumann  lured  home  by  Olympic  Road  to  Excellence 


Jeff  Grace 

Much  of  the  recent  success  of  Canadian  athletes 
in  winter  sports  has  been  credited  to  the  Own  the 
Podium  Program.  Looking  to  create  that  same 
effect  in  summer  sports,  the  Canadian  Olympic 
Committee  (COC)  unveiled  their  Road  to  Excellence 
business  plan  this  June. 

The  Road  to  Excellence  business  plan  was 
written  by  Dr.  Roger  Jackson,  the  CEO  of  the  Own 
the  Podium  program,  and  is  an  aggressive  plan 
that  includes  goals  of  placing  16th  at  the  Beijing 
Olympics  in  2008  and  12th  at  the  London  Olympics 
in  2012. 

Since  announcing  the  creation  of  the  business 
plan,  Chris  Rudge,  CEO  of  the  COC,  has  been 
looking  for  the  perfect  person  to  lead  the  program. 
In  September,  he  finally  found  the  person  who 
appears  to  be  the  perfect  fit — Alex  Baumann. 
Baumann  is  no  stranger  to  the  top  of  the  Olympic 
podium,  having  won  two  gold  medals  in  swimming 
at  the  1984  Olympics  in  the  200  and  400  individual 
medley  events,  and  in  recent  years  has  worked  in 
Brisbane,  Australia,  heading  up  the  very  successful 
Queensland  Academy  of  Sport. 

Because  of  the  new  initiatives  and  the  recent 
change  of  attitude  in  the  Canadian  sporting 
system,  Baumann  was  convinced  by  Rudge  to  leave 
Brisbane,  where  he  has  lived  and  worked  since 
1991  to  become  the  executive  director  of  the  Road 
to  Excellence  program. 

"You  have  a  number  of  key  people  that  are 
providing  the  high-performance  agenda  and  trying 
to  change  the  culture,  really  focusing  on  excellence; 
people  like  Chris  Rudge  from  the  Canadian  Olympic 
Committee  and  Dr.  Roger  Jackson,  who  heads  up  the 
Own  the  Podium  program,"  explains  Baumann.  "I 
just  think  that  there  is  an  attitude  in  Canadian  sport 
that  it  is  okay  to  aspire  to  win  and  be  the  best  you 
can  be." 

The  process  that  a  country  has  to  go  through  to 
make  the  changes  necessary  to  achieve  the  type  of 
success  that  is  outlined  in  the  Road  to  Excellence 
program  will  take  a  long-term  approach,  and  there 
will  be  no  a  quick  fixes. 

"This  is  not  going  to  happen  overnight  and 
I  am  not  looking  at  a  quick  fix  for  the  system," 
comments  Baumann.  "I  am  looking  at  a  long- 
term  solution  so  that  Canada  will  be  internationally 
competitive  in  the  future." 


The  turnaround  of  the  Australian  sports  system 
is  a  great  example  of  the  time-frame  it  takes  to  reach 
success  on  the  international  stage.  The  Australian 
sporting  system  began  to  make  real  changes  in  the 
early  1980s  after  a  very  poor  performance  at  the 
Montreal  Olympics  in  1976,  and  the  results  were  not 
truly  seen  until  the  Atlanta  Olympics  in  1996. 

"I  am  not  saying  that  it  will  take  that  long  in 
Canada,  but  it  will  take  time  to  develop  a  sustainable 
system  that  will  produce  quality  results,"  states 
Baumann. 

A  key  to  the  success  in  Australia  has  been  their 
ability  to  achieve  a  coordinated  effort  involving 
all  the  stakeholders  in  their  sporting  system  and 
having  them  focused  on  one  vision.  This  process 
is  something  that  Baumann  has  been  intimately 
involved  with  for  the  last  decade  of  his  life  and  will 
bring  that  experience  to  the  Canadian  system. 

"It  is  not  going  to  take  one  person  to  change 
the  system,"  says  Baumann.  "It  is  a  team  effort 
and  a  collaborative  effort  between  all  stakeholders, 
ensuring  that  they  are  all  on  the  same  page  and 
heading  in  the  same  direction.  I  think  one  of 
the  advantages  that  Australia  has  had  is  that  its 
programs  are  integrated  and  their  stakeholders  and 
funding  partners  are  on  the  same  page.  That  is  what 
we  have  to  create  in  Canada." 

By  creating  a  coordinated  sporting  system, 
Baumann  believes  that  Canadians  can  build  on 
small  successes,  which  will  create  the  momentum 
necessary  to  reach  the  goals  of  the  Road  to 
Excellence  program.  In  creating  this  momentum, 
Canadians  will  have  a  chance  to  develop  a  belief 
in  their  sporting  system  and  their  leaders,  which  is 
necessary  to  achieve  success  on  the  international 
stage. 

"You  build  that  confidence  through  success. 
Success  can  come  in  various  ways;  it  doesn't  have 
to  happen  at  the  Olympics,"  explains  Baumann. 
"Certainly  benchmark  events  such  as  world 
championships  are  important,  and  I  do  believe 
that  success  breeds  success.  It  also  comes  from 
leadership:  if  the  leaders  believe  that  it  is  possible, 
then  it  permeates  down  through  the  system." 

For  a  leader  to  truly  inspire  confidence  in  their 
vision,  there  must  be  a  system  of  accountability.  This 
is  something  that  Bauman  felt  was  missing  in  the 
Canadian  sports  system  in  the  past,  but  is  something 
that  is  changing. 

"I  think  that  there  is  now  some  accountability 


in  the  system,  whereas  before  I  don't  think  that 
there  was.  From  my  perspective,  there  will  be 
targeting  and  prioritizations  that  will  be  evaluated 
through  accountability  for  performance.  In  the 
end,  I  don't  believe  in  egalitarianism  in  high- 
performance  sport.  Sports  will  be  treated  on  more 
of  an  individual  basis,  based  on  their  current  and 
potential  performance  and  being  able  to  get  athletes 
on  the  medal  podium." 

The  first  step  in  effectively  putting  in  place  a 
strategy,  which  will  create  long-term  changes  that 
will  help  Canadian  athletes  reach  the  goals  of 
being  16th  at  the  Beijing  Olympics  and  12th  at  the 
London  Olympics,  will  be  a  period  of  evaluation  of 
the  sporting  system  and  what  the  priorities  are  for 
change. 

"My  first  goal  is  to  prioritize  what  we  can  do 
right  from  the  start.  One  of  the  priorities  is  coaching 
and  technical  leadership,  ensuring  that  the  right 
people  are  in  the  right  positions,"  says  Baumann.  "I 
have  already  had  a  number  of  discussions  with  Sport 
Canada  officials  and  Brian  MacPherson  from  the 
Paralympic  Committee,  and  obviously  discussions 
with  Roger  Jackson  and  also  Chris  Rudge  from  the 
Canadian  Olympic  Committee." 

"There  will  be  discussions  with  national  sports 
federations  as  well.  I  think  that  as  we  do  here,  we 
have  to  go  on  a  sport-by-sport  basis;  in  the  end, 
there  has  to  be  discussion  with  the  sport  in  what  they 
feel  is  required  to  get  to  the  next  level." 

Baumann  feels  that  for  Canadian  athletes  to 
be  successful  on  the  international  stage,  they  need 
to  feel  that  they  are  getting  world-class  support 
services,  but  they  must  be  careful  not  to  fall  into  the 
trap  of  feeling  that  those  services  are  a  replacement 
for  hard  work. 

"There  is  no  substitute  for  hard  work;  there 
needs  to  be  that  message  to  the  athletes  themselves.  I 
recall  in  1981  when  the  Australian  Institute  of  Sport 
started,  when  they  started  with  the  psychologists 
and  the  biomechanists,  there  was  a  feeling  that 
they  could  get  away  with  that  rather  than  hard 
work,"  explains  Baumann.  "We  have  to  be  fairly 
careful  that  support  services  are  there  to  enhance 
the  athletes'  performance,  but  in  the  end  it  takes  a 
lot  of  hard  work.  There  is  no  easy  road  and  coaches 
have  to  be  aware  of  that.  In  this  day  and  age,  I  think 
a  lot  of  people  think  that  it  is  a  lot  easier  to  get  to 
that  podium  and  are  not  putting  in  that  quality  of 
work." 

With  the  experience  and  vision  that  Alex 
Baumann  brings  to  his  work,  the  Road  to  Excellence 
program  will  have  every  possible  opportunity  to  be 
successful.  For  Chris  Rudge,  bringing  home  this 
Canadian  sporting  legend  to  lead  the  COC's  newest 
initiative  should  bring  instant  credibility  to  the 
program.  ■

OLYMPIC  REUNION  IN  THE  FORMER  GDR 


TAINTED  TIMES  FROM  THIRTY  YEARS  AGO 

They  ruled  at  the  Olympics,  the  Worlds,  and  the  Europeans 


Craig  Lord 

A  quick  glance  around  the  room  confirmed  the 
terrible  truth:  there  were  more  Olympic,  world, 
and  European  medal  winners  standing  within  10 
metres  of  me  than  Britain,  France,  Spain,  Sweden, 
and  the  Netherlands — just  a  few  examples  of  the 
many  teams  hung,  drawn,  and  quartered  by  those 
in  the  GDR  who  ought  to  have  been  charged  with 
slaughtering  the  Olympic  spirit  and  butchering 
the  principals  of  fair  play — had  managed  to 
place  in  their  national  trophy  cabinets  throughout 
swimming  history. 

Quaffing  to  my  right  were  Diers,  Kleber,  Linke, 
Franke,  Fiebig,  Sehmisch;  reminiscing  straight 
ahead  were  Knacke,  Vogel,  Lindner,  Kother-Gabriel; 
sharing  a  joke  to  my  left  were  Meineke,  Wuschek, 
Stellmach,  Treiber;  and  over  in  a  far  corner  with 
his  wife  was  the  token  male,  Jorg  Woithe,  a  pleasant 
man  whose  brawn  has  bowed  to  the  bulk  of  a  life 
more  ordinary. 

On  the  whole,  the  women  looked  to  be  in 
good  shape,  though  the  tell-tale  signs  of  the  crime 
committed  against  them  were  all  too  evident: 
masculine  qualities  manifested  themselves  in 
various  ways,  the  most  common  the  presence  of 
many  a  voice  that  would  do  a  Welsh  working  man's 
choir  proud.  A  few  still  swim  regularly,  about  half 
swim  from  time  to  time,  and  half  rarely  go  near 
a  pool.  There  was  not  a  single  one  of  them  that  I 
would  not  have  described  as  bright  and  engaging 
women,  psychologists,  doctors,  teachers,  theatrical 
directors  in  their  midst.  Sport  often  demands  a  keen 
mind  alongside  talent,  training,  and  the  will  to  win. 
A  fifth  element  visited  the  youth  of  these  women. 

All  drugged  without  parental  consent 

Take  away  Sehmisch  and  Lindner  (pre- 1973)  and 
you  can  be  certain  (talent  pierced  as  it  was  by 
syringe  and  pill,  then  damned  by  the  bloody  pen 
of  the  architects  and  enforcers  of  the  GDR  doping 
program)  that  all  the  rest  were  administered  steroids 
and/or  related,  banned  substances  at  some  point 
during  their  swimming  lives  and  mainly  without 
the  consent  or  knowledge  of  their  parents. 

The  merry  few  gathered  around  me  for  the  sixth 
Olympic  reunion  in  East  Germany  accounted  for 
(take  a  deep  breath)  9  gold,  1 1  silver,  6  bronze  at  the 
Olympics;  17  gold,  9  silver,  5  bronze  at  world  long- 
course;  and  24  gold,  13  silver,  2  bronze  at  European 
long-course  championships  between  1970  and 
1991.  Thank  heavens — for  I  would  surely  still  be 
counting — that  Friedrich,  Geissler,  Geweniger,  Hase, 
Hempel,  Hoffmann,  Hunger,  Matthes,  Metschuk, 
Pollack,  Richter,  Horner,  and  Lodziewski  did  not 
show  up  (not  to  mention  the  legions  not  listed  on 


this  year's  program). 

Manystayedawaybecauseofworkcommitments. 
Geissler  was  in  mourning  for  the  tragic  death  of  her 
teenage  daughter.  She  had  suffered  a  genetic  disorder 
throughout  her  short  life. 

Nor  could  Petra  Thumer,  Olympic  champion 
and  world  record  holder  over  400  and  800  m  freestyle 
in  1976,  make  it  to  the  Friday  evening  reception 
either  and  was  missed  on  the  tour  of  a  garden 
festival  the  next  morning,  when  a  Tupelo  tree  was 
planted  in  honour  of  the  reunion.  "For  most  of  the 
year,  the  Tupelo  (Nyssa  Sylvatica)  is  quite  ordinary ... 
deciduous ...  slow  growing,"  states  my  book  of  trees. 
It  comes  good  with  a  golden  display  in  autumn. 

How  inappropriate  for  a  squad  of  ex- 
Wundermadchen.  There  was  nothing  slow  about 
their  development;  if  one  shoot  wilted,  another 
replaced  it  instantly;  they  were  decidedly  more 
evergreen  than  deciduous  and,  while  hardy,  their 
golden  displays  were  not  so  much  annual  as  placed 
on  show  whenever  the  dark  guardians  at  the  root  of 
a  hybrid  success  born  of  crossing  talent  with  drugs 
wanted  to  prove  a  political  point  in  the  midst  of  the 
Cold  War.  They  were  not  invincible,  but  by  and  large 
they  trounced  the  world. 

Many  a  positive  doping  case  under  the 
bridge — since  the  days  when  red-faced  moments 
were  confined  to  the  IOC-accredited  laboratory 
where  GDR  scientists  kept  (or  were  obliged  to  keep) 
the  doping  secret  safely  under  Stasi  wraps  and 
beyond  the  gaze  of  a  suspicious  but  all-too-often 
silent  world — the  medal  winners  feel  they  have  a 
right  to  recall  their  training  days  and  to  celebrate 
their  achievements. 

There  is  little  point  in  placing  a  name  next  to 
this  quote — it  fell  from  the  lips  of  so  many:  'Tes, 
there  was  doping.  But  I  trained  so  hard  for  so  long. 
I  was  chosen  for  my  talent  and  I  worked  so  hard. 
The  medals  are  mine.  I  won  those  races.  I  want  to 
keep  them  as  a  reminder  of  what  I  did  and  how  I 
worked  for  it." 

That  they  were  talented  and  capable  of  world- 
class  performances  in  their  own  right  is  not  in 
doubt.  Otherwise,  they  would  not  have  been  chosen 
for  a  state  sports  school  and  then  later  placed  under 
the  supervision  of  the  doctors  and  coaches  who  saw 
something  special  and  added  abuse  to  the  cocktail 
that  produced  champions. 

A  bolt  from  the  blue 

Take  Thumer.  She  showed  up  to  join  the  garden 
party  on  arrival  back  at  the  splendid  50-metre 
pool  in  Riesa  that  stands  next  door  to  the  hall  that 
housed  the  temporary  pool  for  the  European  short- 
course  championships  back  in  2002.  Thumer  would 
not  look  out  of  place  in  the  competitive  pool  today. 


Fit  and  boasting  a  keen  definition  of  triceps  to  this 
day,  she  donned  her  1976  suit,  swam  two  50  metres 
in  fun  relay  races  with  local  children  (she  swam  a 
little  over  30  sec),  employing  a  technique  that  was 
nothing  short  of  astounding  given  the  passing  of 
time,  before  drying  herself  down  with  her  Montreal 
Olympics  team  towel. 

Back  then  in  Canada,  Thumer  was  like  a 
bolt  from  the  blue:  not  capable  of  a  sub  4:20  a 
year  before,  she  stunned  the  swim  community  in 
1976  with  a  4:09.89  (30  years  ago!)  400  victory 
and  another  gold,  in  8:37.14  over  800,  keeping 
American  Shirley  Babashoff  at  bay  in  both  events.  A 
year  later  she  took  gold  over  200, 400,  and  800  m  at 
the  European  Championships.  It  was  the  last  time 
the  world  would  see  her. 

And  here  is  why:  Before  the  GDR  team  left  for  the 
1978  world  championships  in  West  Berlin,  10  out  of 
13  women  tested  positive  for  banned  substances.  All 
but  two  would  be  clean  by  the  time  they  mounted 
their  blocks  at  the  other  side  of  the  Wall.  The  other 
two  never  made  it:  Thumer  and  Christiane  Knacke, 
the  first  woman  to  race  inside  a  minute  over  100  m 
butterfly  (29  years  ago!). 

Their  urine  was  sent  to  Kreischa  and  fresh 
samples  were  tested  every  12  hours,  according 
to  Stasi  documents  unearthed  by  anti-doping 
campaigners  Prof  Werner  Franke,  a  leading  cell 
biologist,  and  his  wife  Birgitte  Berendonk.  Time 
and  again  the  same  result  came  back:  traces  of  a 
precursor  to  testosterone  caused  by  the  anabolic 
steroid  Depot-Turinabol,  a  drug  that  came  only  in 
injectable  form  in  those  days.  Depot-Turinabol  was 
the  East  German  word  for  something  now  more 
commonly  known  as  nandrolone. 

Up  in  the  Gods  as  Thumer  graced  the  waters  of 
Riesa  stood  a  stoney  faced  Volker  Frischke,  a  former 
coach,  Stasi  operative,  and  informer  in  Berlin. 
One  with  the  nerve  to  show  up  at  a  reunion  of  a 
community  upon  whose  head  he  had  helped  to  heap 
shame.  What  was  he  thinking?  Perhaps  he  imagines 
himself  forgiven.  He  certainly  can't  have  forgotten: 
in  1999,  in  the  midst  of  a  series  of  doping  trials  that 
made  an  ass  of  German  law  and  fell  woefully  shy  of 
even  skimming  the  surface  of  the  sporting  crime  of 
the  20th  century,  Frischke  was  found  guilty  in  the 
case  against  two  doctors  and  four  coaches  charged 
with  administering  anabolic  steroids  to  19  underage 
female  swimmers  at  the  Sport  Club  Dynamo  Berlin 
between  1975  and  1989. 

Still  involved  with  the  system 

And  here  he  was.  It  was  gratifying  to  note  that  few 
spoke  to  him.  He  is  a  man  on  the  fringe.  Not  so  Uwe 
Neumann,  another  coach  steeped  in  the  GDR  system 
and  now  steeped  in  the  current  DSV  national  team. 
He  has  just  spent  four  weeks  at  altitude  training 
German  team  swimmers  alongside  performance 
director  Orj  an  Madsen. 

I  followed  Neumann,  local  coach  in  Riesa,  out 
on  to  the  roof,  where  he  had  taken  refuge  to  take  in 
his  own  drug  of  choice:  tobacco.  I  asked  him  how 
he  felt  about  the  reunion  of  a  community  that  still

suffered — and  probably  always  would — 
from  the  stigma  of  the  doping  years.  As  he 
spoke  through  a  grin,  his  mouth  dried  up,  his 
throat  became  constricted.  It  was  quite  right 
that  testing  was  carried  out.  It  was  needed  so 
that  innocent  talent  could  prosper.  It  was  right 
that  Madsen  has  instituted  a  system  under 
which  German  swimmers  will  give  blood 
at  the  start  and  end  of  each  of  four  altitude 
training  camps  over  the  coming  year. 

"The  problem  back  then  (in  GDR  times) 
was  that  there  was  no  level  playing  field. 
There  was  no  out-of-competition  testing.  In 
the  early  days,  substances  were  not  banned," 
said  Neumann.  So,  the  suggestion  is  that 
the  GDR  was  not  alone  in  taking  drugs?  He 
laughed,  shrugged,  and  said:  "Of  course  not. 
Do  you  imagine  that  the  GDR  was  capable  of 
producing  these  drugs  in  the  first  instance? 
The  drugs  came  from  America  (in  the  first 
instance)."  Even  if  true  (and  there  is  evidence 
to  confirm  that  the  GDR  developed  its  own 
performance-enhancing  substances) ,  are  you 
suggesting  that  the  USA  team,  those  women 
who  beat  the  GDR  women  (as  they  did)  were 
also  swimming  beyond  natural  capacity?  He 
nodded,  shrugged,  and  laughed. 

And  on  it  went  for  a  little  while  longer  Petra  Thumer:  a9e  45>  wi,h  1976  GDR  towel 


before  we  drifted  back  inside.  There  is  forgiveness 
in  this  world  but  confession  usually  precedes  it. 
Confession  has  been  a  rare  path  in  Germany's  poor 
attempts  at  dealing  with  a  difficult  doping  past.  All 
the  records  were  adopted  by  the  DSV  (they  must 
have  been  out  of  their  minds)  and  GDR  results  are 
still  perceived  as  achievements  to  look  up  to  among 
the  wider  community:  the  fairly  sizeable  number  of 
autograph  hunters  at  the  garden  festival  confirmed 
as  much. 

Sports  traitors 

Where  false  champions  are  applauded,  truth  is 
gagged.  Pity  the  swimmer  who  speaks  out.  To  be 
ostracized  within  the  community  in  which  you 
must  live  out  your  life  is  not  a  mixed  blessing 
people  willingly  invite  into  their  lives.  When  Petra 
Schneider  returned  home  from  work  one  day  in 
the  week  after  a  newspaper  had  run  quotes  from 
her  acknowledging  that  she  had  been  doped,  she 
was  confronted  by  the  words  "Sports  Traitor" 
daubed  across  her  door.  Too  few  of  those  involved 
in  GDR  sport  have  been  prepared  to  stand  up  and  be 
counted,  too  few  have  supported  the  brave  few  who 
faced  their  former  coaches  and  doctors  in  court,  too 
many  have  been  allowed  to  carry  on  in  sport,  in  a 
variety  of  capacities,  without  ever  having  admitted 
to  what  they  know  to  be  the  truth,  too  few  have  been 
punished. 

Time  heals  wounds,  the  saying  goes.  Not  always. 
In  the  words  of  Rica  Reinisch,  former  backstroke 
world  record  holder  and  Olympic  champion:  "There 
are  so  many  victims  and  so  many  people  who  are  j  ust 
scared  and  intimidated  ...  there  are  many  mothers 
who  gave  birth  to  deformed  children,  and  they  are 


afraid  to  come  out  of  hiding,  afraid  that  their  lives 
will  be  shattered  further."  Justice,  she  said,  had  not 
been  served  at  the  doping  trials  of  the  late  1990s. 

It  probably  won't  be  served  either  if  the  162 
former  GDR  athletes,  many  of  them  swimmers, 
intent  on  pursuing  further  action,  win  the  right 
to  sue  Jenapharm,  the  drugs  company  that  made 
the  doping  given  to  them,  and  the  National 
Olympic  Committee  of  Germany,  which  took  on 
the  responsibility  of  the  equivalent  GDR  body  upon 
reunification. 

Real  justice  can  never  really  be  served  for  the 
victims  of  the  GDR  era,  neither  for  those  who  raced 
for  the  Democratic  Republic  that  was  anything  but, 
nor  for  those  beaten  by  her.  Yet,  better  efforts  can  be 
made  by  those  who  administer  sport  and  by  those 
who  wrote  its  history.  I  wrote  a  comment  recently 
criticizing  the  International  Swimming  Hall  of 
Fame  for  their  failure  to  acknowledge  the  GDR's 
crime  alongside  some  defective  biographies  of  East 
German  swimmers.  My  words  upset  a  few  people  but 
I  stand  by  them  and  was  delighted  to  hear  from  the 
new  man  at  the  helm  of  the  ISHOF. 

Bruce  Wigo  has  rolled  up  his  sleeves  and  is 
putting  the  ISHOF  house  in  order.  Part  of  that  weighty 
exercise  will  see  a  statement  posted  on  the  Hall's 
website  alongside  GDR  results  and  honoree  biogs.  It 
is  overdue  but  most  welcome.  It  acknowledges  that 
"from  1 966  on,  hundreds  of  physicians  and  scientists, 
including  top-ranking  professors,  performed  doping 
research  and  administered  prescription  drugs  as  well 
as  unapproved  experimental  drug  preparations." 
The  administration  of  those  drugs  has  "resulted  in 
irreversible  damages  to  many  of  the  International 
Swimming  Hall  of  Fame's  honorees  from  the  DDR, 


including  signs  of  virilization  such  as  liver 
damage,  an  increased  growth  of  bodily  hair 
(hirsutism),  voice  changes,  and  disturbances 
in  libido"  while  many  "continue  to  sufferfrom 
the  after  effects  of  this  experimentation." 

The  ISHOF  will  not  remove  the  GDR 
honorees  and  results.  How  could  it?  It  notes: 
"As  neither  FINA  or  the  IOC  have  taken 
action  to  revoke  their  awards  or  records,  the 
International  Swimming  Hall  of  Fame  has 
not  sought  to  remove  these  athletes  from  the 
Hall  of  Fame." 

It  is  what  we're  left  with  and  probably 
the  most  sensible  solution  possible.  Yet  it 
grates  to  know  that  the  likes  of  Frischke  and 
Neumann  have  dined  out  on  the  success  of 
the  doped  girls — and  boys — who  trained 
under  their  guidance.  For  that  and  so  many 
other  reasons,  the  sight  of  GDR  performances 
being  celebrated  feels,  at  the  very  least, 
uncomfortable. 

A  few  still  live  in  the  past 
and  can't  escape  it 

The  past  defines  a  man  who  lives  in  it.  The 
same  can  be  said  of  the  present.  There  is 
always  scope  to  make  ammends,  move  on, 
Craig  Lord  cnange)  adapt,  learn.  Frischke  lives  in  the  past 
and  will  never  escape  it.  He  was  not  alone  in  that 
regard  in  Riesa.  But  the  same  cannot  be  said  of  the 
swimmers.  They  have  moved  on,  to  professionals, 
families,  to  a  life  more  ordinary,  perhaps,  but  what 
more  meaningful  that  a  gold  medal  claimed  on  a 
diet  of  substances  destined  to  harm  their  health, 
as  it  did  in  the  case  of  so  many  of  the  10,000  or 
so  athletes  said  to  have  been  caught  in  the  Stasi's 
pharmaceutical  war. 

In  the  round,  catharsis  is  perhaps  all  we  can 
hope  for  in  time.  In  that  sense,  Klaus  Katzur,  the 
1970  European  200  m  breaststroke  champion  for 
the  GDR,  former  husband  to  Thumer  and  organiser 
of  the  reunions,  is  to  be  congratulated  for  bringing 
a  smile  to  the  faces  of  those  who  wish  to  remember 
their  time  as  GDR  swimmers,  relive  a  common 
experience,  talk  through  their  joys  and  sadnesses. 

Meineke,  now  a  doctor,  said:  "It's  great  to  be 
here.  It's  the  first  one  I've  been  to  for  a  few  years. 
It's  good  to  make  contact  with  people  and  to  talk 
about  old  times.  I  think  it's  a  shame  that  today  so 
many  people  in  sport  prepare  apart;  no  one  comes 
together.  A  lot  of  us  trained,  traveled,  and  lived 
together.  We  have  a  bond.  It's  worth  remembering 
the  way  we  trained." 

The  next  reunion  will  not  be  held  for  several 
years.  When  Klaus  reaches  for  the  invitations  and 
recalls  the  excellent  time  had  by  most  in  Riesa, 
he  might  consider  the  guest  list  and  aim  for  those 
who  would  not  wish  to  raise  a  glass  of  anything  but 
poison  with  those  who  have  failed  to  raise  an  arm 
and  say  from  the  heart  and  mind — and  mean  it: 
"I  apologize  without  reservation.  Yes,  we  cheated — 
and  I  played  my  part.  This  was  who  I  was.  This  is 
what  I  did.  Never  again."  ■

AMERICAN  PERSONALITY:  RYAN  LOCHTE 


THE  GREAT  ONES  UNDERSTAND  WHAT  THEY  NEED  TO  DO 

TO  GET  BETTER  AND  THEY  DO  IT 


Adam  Sioui 

No  one  really  thinks  that  they'll  train  with  one  of 
the  world's  best.  Swimmers  that  leave  a  lasting 
impression  on  the  record  books  are  few  and  far 
between.  So  when  you  find  one  on  your  own  team, 
it's  all  the  more  incredible. 

A  promising  start 

When  Ryan  Lochte  walked  on  the  campus  at  the 
University  of  Florida,  few  were  blown  away.  He  was 
like  most  incoming  freshmen:  skinny,  probably  a  bit 
naive,  but  still  filled  with  visions  of  grandeur.  Unlike 
others,  however,  it  didn't  take  long  for  him  to  leave 
his  mark.  While  he  earned  Southeastern  Conference 
Freshman  and  Swimmer  of  the  Year  honours  in  his 
first  season,  this  was  simply  the  beginning.  As  one 
of  his  teammates,  I  got  to  catch  an  early  glimpse  of 
what  the  rest  of  the  world  was  about  to  see. 

Lochte  made  his  senior  national  team  debut  at 
the  2003  Pan  American  Games  in  the  Dominican 
Republic  in  the  4x200  free  relay.  Due  to  his 
qualifying  in  the  relay,  he  was  allowed  to  swim 
other  events,  but  was  relegated  to  compete  only  in 
the  preliminaries.  Swimming  in  the  summer  heat  of 
Santo  Domingo  in  a  90-degree  pool,  Lochte  opened 
the  eyes  of  everyone  there,  including  himself.  "I 
loved  that  pool,"  says  Lochte.  "It  was  just  like  the 
pool  I  grew  up  swimming  in.  We  would  be  training 
at  the  YMCA  pool  in  Daytona  Beach  and  there  would 
always  be  these  aqua- aerobic  classes  going  on.  They 
needed  the  pool  a  certain  temperature  and  I  just 
grew  accustomed  to  it.  So  when  the  Pan-Am  pool 
was  just  as  hot,  it  didn't  bother  me  at  all,  I  actually 
liked  it. .  .which  is  probably  one  of  the  reasons  why 
I  swam  so  well  there.  It  didn't  affect  me  like  it  may 
have  the  others."  Lochte  concluded  the  meet  with 
a  gold  in  the  relay  and  world-class  times  while 
swimming  exhibition  in  the  200  free  (1:49.61),  200 
IM  (2:00.34),  and  400 IM  (4:16.80). 

For  those  who  know  Ryan,  they  will  tell  you  he  is 
one  of  the  most  laid-back  people  you  will  ever  meet. 
He  carries  a  certain  nonchalance  about  him  that  is 
very  discernible,  no  doubt  a  hazard  of  growing  up  in 
Daytona.  He  spent  most  of  his  youth  in  the  surf  and 
the  sand,  while  also  playing  basketball  for  his  high- 
school  team.  Swimming  was  never  pushed  on  him 
growing  up,  so  he  never  had  to  take  it  too  seriously. 

"Yeah  we  didn't  swim  too  much,"  says  Lochte. 


"We  were  only  going  five  days  a  week  and  we  never 
got  over  5000  yards  in  a  workout."  Even  during 
practice,  a  sense  of  fun  was  instilled.  "We  also 
had  Friday  Fun-day,"  Lochte  adds  with  a  laugh. 
"We  would  play  water-polo  or  some  other  game." 
His  competitors  have  learned,  however,  that  this 
carefree  attitude  should  not  be  taken  for  a  weakness. 
After  talking  to  him,  it  becomes  readily  apparent 
that  he  hates  to  lose,  and  in  the  same  line  loves  to 
race.  No  evidence  backs  this  up  more  than  the  2004 
US  Olympic  Trials.  In  what  has  now  become  his 
signature  event,  Lochte  trailed  at  the  150-m  mark 
in  the  200  IM  by  almost  9/10ths  of  a  second.  He  split 
a  27.92  to  finish  off  a  1:59-41  swim,  and  stole  the 
second  and  final  spot  for  the  event,  out-touching  the 
third-place  finisher  by  3/10ths  of  a  second.  At  the 
2004  Athens  Olympics,  Lochte  was  a  quarter  of  the 
now-famous  4x200  free  relay  that  stunned  the  world 
when  they  beat  world-record-holding  and  reigning 
champion  Australia.  Two  days  later  in  the  200  IM, 
Lochte  made  another  one  of  his  comebacks  in  the 
freestyle  and  sprinted  to  the  silver  medal  (1:58.78), 
beating  out  the  third  and  fourth  finishers  by  a 
combined  6/100ths  of  a  second. 

Ever  higher  goals 

There  are  many  good  swimmers  in  the  world,  but  far 
fewer  great  ones.  It  is  the  great  ones  that  understand 
what  their  strengths  and  weaknesses  are.  They 
understand  what  they  need  to  do  to  get  better  and 
they  do  it.  They  don't  accept  their  successes,  but 
only  look  to  further  them.  Lochte,  an  Olympic  gold 
and  silver  medallist  and  one  of  history's  fastest  200 
IMers,  still  wanted  to  improve.  He  decided  to  set 
his  goals  higher.  Being  merely  a  freestyle  and  IM 
specialist  wasn't  good  enough  for  him. 

So  Ryan  Lochte  became  a  backstroker. 

"I  guess  it  all  started  the  summer  of  the 
Olympics,"  Lochte  states.  "During  my  freshman 
and  sophomore  years  in  college,  there  was  never 
a  need  for  me  to  race  that  much  backstroke.  After 
people  left,  though  [due  to  graduation],  there  was 
a  shortage  of  backstrokers  on  the  team,  so  I  started 
training  more  of  it,  which  would  also  help  in  my  IM. 
The  biggest  thing  was  the  kick,  of  course.  I  just  did 
a  bunch  of  fly  kick  on  my  back,  which  strengthened 
my  legs  a  lot." 

As  he  returned  from  Athens,  there  was  a  sense 
of  invincibility  that  surrounded  Lochte.  Not  only  did 


he  feel  no  one  could  beat  him,  the  swimmers  that 
faced  him  felt  the  same.  "Right  after  the  Olympics, 
knowing  how  I  had  done  there,  really  helped  me 
in  my  final  two  years  of  college.  I  knew  not  a  lot 
of  people  I  was  going  to  race  had  been  to  Athens. 
And  even  if  they  had,  not  many  returned  with  a  gold 
and  silver  medal.  When  I  stepped  on  the  blocks,  I 
had  this  new  sense  of  confidence  that  I  didn't  have 
before." 

One  of  the  all  time  NCAA  greats 

In  his  final  two  seasons  at  Florida,  he  proceeded 
to  go  undefeated  in  collegiate  duel  meets  in  ever)' 
event  he  swam,  and  finished  his  college  career  with 
seven  NCAA  titles  and  left  as  arguably  the  greatest 
male  to  ever  swim  yards.  If  events  were  not  limited 
to  three  individual,  his  haul  would've  been  even 
more  impressive.  More  striking  still  was  by  how 
much  he  dominated.  Utilizing  to  its  fullest  potential 
his  demoralizing  underwater  kick,  he  destroyed  the 
American  and  NCAA  records  in  the  100  back,  200 
back,  and  200  IM,  knocking  off  Neil  Walker,  Aaron 
Peirsol,  and  Michael  Phelps'  names  in  the  process. 

While  watching  other  phenoms  before  him 
forego  their  eligibility,  Lochte  instead  chose  the 
road  less  traveled,  a  road,  for  the  moment  without 
money.  "Right  after  the  Olympics,  after  the  success 
I  had,  I  could' ve  gone  pro  right  then,  but  I  had 
already  decided  to  swim  at  least  one  more  year."  As 
the  year  came  to  a  close,  however,  Lochte  found  it 
hard  to  walk  away  from  the  place  that  made  him 
a  star.  "I  was  asked  again  by  a  lot  of  people  to  sign. 
I  just  loved  racing  in  college  so  much  and  I  didn't 
want  to  let  my  teammates  down,"  adds  Lochte  with 
a  genuine  sense  of  sincerity. 

Short  course  world  records 

This  is  not  to  say  Lochte  is  living  the  life  of  a 
struggling  student  anymore.  This  past  spring  he 
signed  a  long-term  deal  with  Speedo,  and  as  it 
turned  out,  it  came  at  the  perfect  time.  As  if  sensing 
something  special  was  about  to  happen,  Lochte 
continued  his  record-breaking  performances  at 
the  2006  Short  Course  World  Championships. 
"The  year  before,  I  swam  three  meets  all  back-to- 
back,  so  when  I  finished  our  conference  champs 
and  NCAA  champs  this  time,  I  knew  doing  a  third 
meet  wouldn't  be  a  problem."  He  first  wanned  up 
the  Shanghai  crowd  with  a  1:53-31  200  IM  and  a 


10 


SWIMNEWS  /  SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER  2006 


1:49.05  200  back  (both  world  records).  "The  hardest 
part  was  the  travel  and  time  change,"  says  Lochte. 
"As  the  meet  went  on,  I  felt  stronger  each  day  as  my 
body  adjusted,  which  is  why  my  performances  were 
better  at  the  end."  The  end,  this  time,  was  the  4x100 
medley  relay,  and  like  so  many  times  before,  Lochte 
saved  his  best  for  last.  With  what  still  seems  like  a 
good  freestyle  time,  Lochte  uncorked  a  ridiculous 
49.99  in  the  100  back  to  lead  off  the  relay.  He  left 
the  meet  with  six  medals  (three  gold),  three  world 
records,  and  Male  Swimmer  of  the  Meet  honours. 
Not  a  bad  start  in  your  professional  career. 

It  has  been  said  that  swimming  is  10%  physical 
and  90%  mental.  Whatever  the  numbers  actually 
translate  to,  it  cannot  be  argued  that  the  strain  of 
it  can  take  a  toll  on  your  mind.  That  said,  Ryan 
possesses  the  inane  ability  to  simply  "turn  himself 
on  and  off"  to  the  sport.  He  continually  finds  himself 
in  the  most  stressful  environments,  yet  you  would 
never  know  it.  This  is  perhaps  his  greatest  gift.  "I've 
never  been  nervous,"  Lochte  says  with  conviction. 
"I  just  don't  think  about  the  racing.  Every  day  in 
workout  you  practise  the  things  you  need  when 
you're  at  the  competition.  So  when  you  finally  step 
on  the  blocks,  everything's  already  done  for  you. 
Now  you  can  just  go." 

Long-term  prospects 

At  22,  Lochte  has  seen  and  experienced  things 
swimmers  only  dream  of,  and  at  the  age  where 
others  may  find  themselves  at  a  plateau,  Ryan  is 
seemingly  in  cruise  control.  In  the  last  two  years 
alone,  he  has  dropped  his  200  IM  from  a  2:00.34 
to  a  stunning  1:56.11,  and  every  time  he  swims  it, 
inches  closer  to  Phelps'  once-untouchable  record  of 
1:55.84.  Currently,  he  is  ranked  in  the  top  four  in  the 
world  in  three  long-course  events:  100  back  5378 
(4th),  400  IM  4:11.53  (3rd),  and  200  IM  1:56.11 
(2nd),  proving  without  a  doubt  that  he  is  not  just 
a  short-course  flash  in  the  pan.  In  the  meantime, 
Ryan  continues  to  live  and  train  in  Gainesville, 
Florida,  where  he  has  committed  to  stay  until  after 
the  2008  Beijing  Olympics.  The  long-term  goal  is 
four  years  later  in  London,  England,  where  by  then 
Lochte  will  "try  out  the  100  and  200  butterfly"  and 
see  if  it  can  be  fit  into  his  ever-growing  schedule. 

After  his  impressive  swims  at  the  recent  Pan 
Pacific  Championships  in  Victoria,  Canada,  many 
onlookers  were  buzzing  about  the  possibilities.  A 
question  was  posed  on  how  much  more  famous 
Lochte  would  be  if  Phelps  weren't  around.  After  a 
brief  hesitation,  the  response  came,  "He'd  be  Phelps." 
Although  this  statement  may  seem  inflated,  if  Ryan's 
past  two  years  have  been  any  indication,  the  next  few 
could  be  just  as  entertaining.  Now,  if  the  competition 
has  learned  anything,  they  shouldn't  doubt  him.  ■

FLASHBACK 


THE  IDEA  OF  EXCELLENCE 

Switching  from  cardboard  boxes  to  computers 


Howard  Firby 
My  first  Nationals 

The  1950  Nationals  were  in  Verdun  (Quebec)  August 
17-18  in  a  25-yard  pool.  We  travelled  by  train  and  it 
took  us  four  days.  The  Nationals  were  always  at  one 
end  of  the  country  or  the  other,  never  in  the  middle. 

Nobody  really  trained  in  those  days.  We  had 
one-and-a-half  hours,  twice  a  week,  and  ran  what 
you  could  jokingly  call  by  today's  standards,  a 
workout.  After  50  minutes,  the  coach  would  whistle 
and  we'd  have  playtime  for  the  next  40  minutes. 

I  would  swim  with  the  kids  and  then  sit  on  the 
edge  and  help  Percy  Norman  coach  the  kids.  Percy 
would  never  get  away  to  take  the  kids  on  trips,  so  I 
became  more  involved  in  coaching  because  I  liked 
to  travel. 

A  typical  meet  would  have  100  swimmers.  It  was 
very  small.  There  were  no  qualifying  times. 

There  were  some  girls  who  came  up  from  the 
States  and  swam  100  yards  freestyle  in  1:02  and  we 
were  flabbergasted.  At  the  1951  Nationals  in  Fergus, 
Ontario,  the  local  team  was  one  of  the  big  powers, 
with  a  women's  4x100  yards  free  relay  that  could  go 
4:24.  We  were  astounded.  Imagine  4  x  1:06  all  in 
the  same  club. 

That  was  Dr.  Paul  Hauch's  first  Nationals. 
Because  there  were  so  few  clubs  with  any  kind  of 
relay  strength,  it  was  his  idea  to  allow  provincial 
section  teams  to  compete.  That  is  how  that  started. 
It  got  way  out  of  hand  when  they  became  all-star 
teams.  We  went  through  all  those  growing  pains. 

In  the  1930s,  championships  could  be  held 
anywhere.  Lets  say  you  had  a  good  backstroker  at 
your  club.  You  would  apply,  for  a  small  fee,  to  hold 
the  backstroke  championships  at  your  meet  and 
hope  nobody  but  the  local  people  would  show  up.  If 
your  swimmer  won,  he  was  the  national  champion. 
This  went  on  for  years. 

1954  Commonwealth  Games 

The  Commonwealth  Games  were  in  Vancouver 
and  that's  when  our  attitude  really  hit  me.  When  a 
swimmer  made  a  team  they  were  told,  "You've  got 
your  blazer,  you're  not  really  expected  to  win.  Let's 
not  reach  for  the  moon."  The  idea  of  winning  never 
dawned  on  anyone. 

George  Gate  in  Ocean  Falls  (BC),  Alex  Stermac 
in  Toronto,  and  I  were  the  only  ones  clued  into  the 
fact  that  maybe  we  could  make  the  centre  lanes  at 
a  major  meet. 

I  saw  the  Aussies  begin  to  show  their  strength  in 


1954. 1  watched  them  for  a  week  prior  to  the  start  of 
the  Games.  That's  when  I  really  had  my  eyes  opened 
and  saw  how  Mickey  Mouse  everything  in  Canada 
was. 

1955  Pan  American  Games 

There  were  no  funds  or  trials  for  the  1955  Pan 
Am  Games  held  in  Mexico,  March  18-26  in  a  50- 
m  outdoor  pool.  Canada  received  permission  to 
take  part,  so  CASA  (Canadian  Amateur  Swimming 
Association)  sent  out  a  letter  saying  you  were  on  the 
team  if  you  had  the  money  and  nobody  challenged 
you.  BC  sent  nine  swimmers. 

There  was  a  lot  of  skullduggery  in  those  days. 
The  eastern  coaches  were  very  suspicious  of  the 
western  coaches  and  vice  versa.  I  went  to  Mexico 
to  take  care  of  the  BC  swimmers  and  someone  tried 
to  prevent  my  visa  going  through.  They  were  very 
surprised  when  I  showed  up. 

Beth  Whittall  was  named  Canadian  athlete  of 
the  year  in  1955.  She  was  from  Montreal,  but  had 
really  done  her  training  at  Purdue  University  in 
the  States.  She  surprised  everyone  at  the  Games  by 
winning  two  gold  medals. 

One  of  my  swimmers,  Helen  Stewart,  won  the 
100  free.  She  was  by  no  means  Percy's  favourite.  She 
was  too  high  spirited.  Percy's  approach,  and  most  of 
the  coaches  in  the  country  at  that  time,  was  that  you 
broke  the  spirit  of  someone  and  got  them  to  swim 
your  way.  I  gave  her  free  rein  and  she  won  it,  much 
to  the  dislike  of  all  kinds  of  people. 

I  still  wonder  how  many  people  we  have  who  are 
crippled  into  conformity  by  being  in  high-mileage 
programs  and  that  sort  of  thing.  I  really  think  that 
coaches  everywhere  tend  to  do  that.  I  don't  think  it 
speaks  well  for  a  coach  if  all  they  can  produce  are 
1500  metre  swimmers.  Big  deal.  There's  more  to  it 
than  that. 

A  lot  of  people  thought  that  Canada  had  come 
of  age  in  1955.  We  had  won  four  events  and  some 
silvers.  It  was  a  fluke.  The  Americans  thought 
that  Canada  had  been  hiding  in  the  weeds  doing 
something  fantastic.  It  was  similar  to  how  we  view 
the  East  Germans. 

Turning  point 

The  selection  of  Games  teams  was  often  political. 
There  were  fewer  events  and  we  didn't  need  as  many 
swimmers.  There  was  only  one  backstroke  and 
breaststroke  event.  There  wasn't  a  200  free  and  the 
medley  relay  didn't  get  into  the  act  until  i960. 
There  wasn't  a  Sport  Canada.  The  first  money 


support  came  about  during  the  Diefenbaker  era. 
The  government  put  up  $1  million,  which  became 
the  original  priming  of  the  pump  that  has  grown 
into  that  enormous  thing  we  now  know. 

In  those  days,  all  the  energy  was  spent  trying 
to  get  swimmers  to  the  Nationals.  The  coaches 
weren't  paid  and  pool  rentals  were  low.  When  the 
clubs  received  travel  support  to  Nationals,  it  enabled 
them  to  start  thinking  about  renting  more  pool  time 
or  paying  coaches.  Qualifying  times  were  a  direct 
result  of  the  funding  support. 

In  1966  we  really  broke  through.  At  the  1964 
Olympics,  we  were  eighth  overall  and  in  1968  we 
were  fifth.  It  was  at  the  1965  Nationals  in  Red  Deer, 
Alberta,  that  we  fought  to  get  the  Nationals  closed  to 
foreigners.  It  was  a  hard  fight,  but  I  believe  it  was 
one  of  the  things  that  helped  us  grow  up.  If  you 
tried  to  have  our  Nationals  opened  up  now,  everyone 
would  think  you  were  crazy. 

I  remember  when  the  young  turks,  people  like 
George  Gate  and  me,  began  to  take  over.  Now  there 
is  a  new  generation  of  young  turks  and  they  are 
doing  just  fine.  For  every  two  we  had  20  years  ago, 
we've  got  about  100  now. 

It  was  very  easy  to  be  number  one  for  a  long 
time.  A  lot  of  glory  that  has  been  heaped  on  me  was 
because  I  was  a  medium-sized  toad  in  a  very  small 
puddle.  It's  so  much  harder  now. 

Swimming  is  the  model 

Having  Talbot  at  the  helm  has  made  coaches  feel 
more  in  tune  with  Ottawa.  When  the  "new  era" 
came  in,  with  the  idea  of  a  sports  centre  in  Ottawa, 
swimming  was  blessed  with  a  number  of  very 
capable  executive  types. 

As  a  result,  swimming  was  able  to  look  very 
good  very  quickly.  We  did  our  briefs  beautifully.  Our 
sport  is  still  held  as  a  model  to  the  other  wayward 
sports  who  don't  do  their  homework. 

We  happen  to  be  blessed  with  a  lot  of  good 
officials  when  we  switched  from  cardboard  boxes 
to  computers.  We  had  the  right  people  and  enough 
calibre  swimmers  to  warrant  federal  funding.  Of 
course,  the  sport  looks  good  on  television  and  we 
became  very  visible.  We  had  all  these  50  metre  pools 
that  made  it  all  possible  too.  All  those  factors  came 
into  focus  at  the  same  time. 

In  1968,  the  Task  Force  was  set  up  to  see  what 
we  could  learn  about  sport  in  Canada  and  the  rest  of 
the  world.  We  explained  to  the  commission,  after  the 
1968  Olympics,  what  we'd  like  to  see  happen  and  a 
lot  of  these  changes  have  come  to  pass. 

It  was  significant  that  they  invited  someone 
from  the  swimming  coaches  association  to  come, 
since  I  had  just  started  the  CSCA  in  1966.  Right  from 
the  beginning  the  CSCA  was  set  up  to  be  a  lobbying 
group  with  the  national  body.

CANADIAN  CLUB  PROFILE 


SUCCESS  AT  LANGLEY  OLYMPIANS 

Seven  club  members  qualify  for  youth  and  junior  national  teams. 
Coach  Brian  Metcalfe  builds  a  strong  age  group  program 


Jeff  Grace 

In  the  last  two  years,  there  have  been  few  age-group 
clubs  that  have  experienced  the  level  of  success 
that  the  Langley  Olympians  Swim  Club  has.  They 
have  placed  in  the  top  three  at  the  last  four  BC  AAA 
Championships,  placing  second  at  this  year's  long 
course  competition.  They  placed  in  the  top  five  at  the 
last  two  club  nationals,  winning  this  year's  women's 
team  title.  And  they  have  had  seven  individuals 
qualify  for  youth  and  junior  national  teams. 

Managing  your  club 

The  key  to  the  Olympians'  success  has  been  the 
creation  of  an  environment  where  all  decisions  begin 
and  end  with  the  leader  of  the  club,  the  head  coach. 
By  creating  such  an  environment,  Brian  Metcalfe 
has  been  able  to  incorporate  his  vision  of  excellence 
in  all  areas  of  the  club,  ensuring  that  the  focus  is 
on  developing  swimmers  to  the  point  where  they  are 
able  to  perform  at  the  highest  possible  level. 

"I  think  that  more  coaches  need  to  take  the 
opportunity  to  manage  their  own  club,"  says 
Metcalfe.  "I  think  that  coaches  can  get  a  lot  more 
out  of  themselves  and  their  swimmers  if  they  have 
more  ownership  in  their  own  life  in  coaching.  I 
think  not  enough  people  try,  and  I  think  it  could 
go  a  long  way  to  help  coaches  with  stability  and 
passion  of  coaching." 

After  working  for  years  with  clubs  that  were 
structured  in  a  traditional  way,  being  run  and 
operated  by  a  volunteer  board  consisting  of  parents, 
Metcalfe  realized  that  if  he  was  going  to  be  able  to 
keep  coaching  for  the  long  term,  he  was  going  to 
have  to  do  something  different. 

"I  did  this  because  I  saw  the  limitations  of 
being  a  coach  and  dealing  with  parent-led  clubs, 
which  are  generally  comprised  of  good-hearted 
parents,  but  sometimes  not,"  explains  Metcalfe.  "I 
don't  think  I  would  be  coaching  if  I  had  to  work  for 
another  parent-led  club.  When  it  is  good,  it  can  be 
really  good,  but  when  it  is  bad,  it  can  be  really  bad. 
I  always  thought  I  was  good  at  coaching,  1  enjoy 
coaching,  so  why  should  I  leave  coaching  because 
of  the  structure?" 

In  1997,  Metcalfe  started  a  club  in  a 
community  where  there  was  an  absence  of  a  year- 
round  program — Langley,  British  Columbia.  The 


club  was  started  from  scratch.  Initially,  the  city  of 
Langley  was  hesitant  to  allow  the  Olympians  to  start 
in  the  city  pool.  For  that  reason,  the  Olympians 
had  a  very  humble  beginning,  swimming  their 
inaugural  season  in  a  4-lane  20-yard  pool  at  a 
juvenile  delinquents'  centre. 

"We  really  started  from  ground  zero," 
comments  Metcalfe.  "I  don't  think  you  do  it  for 
nothing,  but  you  do  it  for  little  and  you  don't  get 
paid  for  everything  you  do.  If  you  have  to  go  put 
flyers  on  cars  in  malls,  then  you  do  that.  You  have  to 
make  sacrifices  and  do  extra  work." 

After  working  in  less-than-ideal  conditions  in 
the  first  year  of  their  existence,  the  Olympians  began 
to  secure  pool  time  in  the  city  pools  and,  as  luck 
would  have  it,  a  new  50-metre  facility  was  built  in 
Langley  that  the  Olympians  now  call  home.  The  club 
has  grown  to  a  membership  of  approximately  150 
swimmers  and  is  linked  with  an  association  partner 
in  Abbotsford,  the  Abbotsford  Olympians  Swim  Club, 
that  has  a  membership  of  approximately  50. 

Clearly  defined  roles 

The  role  of  the  coach  and  the  role  of  the  parent 
in  the  club  are  very  clear.  The  head  coach  makes 
all  of  the  decisions  that  pertain  to  the  club  and 
these  responsibilities  filter  down  to  the  rest  of  the 
coaching  staff.  The  parents'  role  is  to  support  the 
swimmers  financially. 

"Anything  to  do  with  administration  or 
operation  of  the  club  starts  with  me  and  goes  down 
to  all  the  other  coaches.  The  parents  have  a  role  in 
helping  raise  money  for  swimming." 

Metcalfe  created  this  club  structure  to  allow 
him  to  coach  on  deck  following  the  philosophy  that 
he  has  proven  to  be  successful.  That  philosophy  is 
one  of  simplicity:  concentrating  on  developing  the 
fundamentals  in  technique  and  training;  being 
tough;  and  having  fun. 

Training  for  all  events 

The  Olympians  training  program  is  based  on 
teaching  swimmers  how  to  swim  all  of  the  Olympic 
events.  Metcalfe  feels  that  the  athletes  that  he  is 
working  with  are  all  age-group  swimmers,  no 
matter  how  good  they  are,  and  because  of  that  fact, 
they  still  need  to  have  a  development  plan  that  is 
based  around  being  good  all-around  swimmers. 


"I  think  that  I  have  always  been  IM  based," 
explained  Metcalfe.  "I  just  think  it  works.  A  kid  can 
be  a  sprinter,  but  they  can  also  be  a  distance  swimmer 
in  our  program.  They  need  to  learn  to  do  everything; 
the  older  they  get  they  can  specialize.  I  think  they 
really  specialize  when  they  get  to  college." 

One  of  the  most  prominent  characteristics  of 
the  Olympians  swimmers  is  the  toughness  that  they 
portray  in  their  racing.  An  example  of  the  pride 
that  the  athletes  take  in  swimming  difficult  events 
was  evident  at  this  year's  club  nationals  where 
Olympian  swimmers  placed  in  the  top  three  in  five 
different  age  groups  in  the  200-metre  butterfly.  This 
toughness  is  not  something  that  just  happens  by 
accident.  Athletes  are  taught  to  have  this  mindset 
from  a  very  early  age. 

"  I  think  that  part  of  it  comes  from  their  coaching 
as  youngsters  in  their  way  up  in  the  program,"  states 
Metcalfe.  "I  think  it  is  the  expectation  if  you  talk 
about  it  often  enough  and  demand  it  often  enough, 
kids  will  respond.  It  is  an  everyday  thing;  every  day 
it  is  an  expectation,  and  if  you  live  it  every  day,  you 
start  to  believe;  each  and  every  day  you  start  to  buy 
into  it  and  believe  it." 

Creating  an  environment  for  success 

A  training  philosophy  can  be  well  thought  out  and 
fundamentally  sound,  but  if  the  athletes  do  not 
enjoy  the  process  and  are  not  motivated  to  follow 
the  program,  it  does  not  matter.  The  environment 
that  has  been  created  at  the  Olympians  since  the 
club  began  is  one  where  the  athletes'  goals  are  taken 
seriously,  but  the  process  is  one  that  is  enjoyable. 

"You  want  it  to  be  a  serious  environment,  but  a 
fun  environment.  You  want  them  to  realize  that  they 
are  there  for  a  purpose,  have  ambitions  for  them 
and  goals  for  them,  and  teach  them  how  to  dream. 
Things  like  that  hook  them  into  swimming." 

This  environment  is  created  in  large  part  by 
the  way  that  the  Olympians  handle  the  recognition 
of  their  swimmers.  They  not  only  use  traditional 
methods,  such  as  swimmer  of  the  month,  but 
they  have  taken  this  one  step  further  by  rewarding 
young  swimmers  for  exceptional  efforts  in  practices 
through  achievement  certificates  and  by  starting  a 
tradition  that  each  athlete  who  makes  a  national 
time  standard  receives  a  key  chain  and  a  bin  of  jelly 
beans.  These  are  the  little  things  that  have  made 
the  environment  in  Langley  an  extremely  enjoyable 
place  to  be. 

Taking  the  initiative  to  create  a  situation  where 
he  has  been  able  to  control  his  own  destiny  and 
create  an  environment  that  focuses  on  developing 
excellence  in  athletes,  Brian  Metcalfe  has  been 
able  to  build  one  of  the  most  successful  age-group 
programs  in  Canada.  ■

COMMENTARY 


CANADA'S  NEW  NATIONAL  TRAINING  CENTRES 

Montreal  and  Vancouver  will  broaden  our  resources 


Justin  Finney 

The  vision  of  Swimming/Natation  Canada  is  simple: 
"If  we  want  to  compete  with  the  best  swimming 
nations  in  the  world,  we  need  to  broaden  our 
resources." 

Doing  whatever  it  takes  to  get  to  the  podium 

That's  exactly  what  SNC  National  Team  Head  Coach 
Pierre  Lafontaine  has  done  with  his  implementation 
of  the  new  Canadian  Centre  structure.  "A  lot  of  hard 
work  went  into  the  development  of  the  new  National 
Centre  structure,"  said  Lafontaine.  "Our  centres  are 
basically  a  service  organization  for  all  coaches  in 
Canada  to  have  access  to  resources  to  help  guide 
them  throughout  their  quadrennial.  The  ultimate 
goal  is  to  do  whatever  it  takes  to  put  their  swimmers 
in  Canada  on  the  podium  at  the  international  and 
Olympic  levels." 

We've  been  down  this  road  before 

However,  the  argument  can  be  made  that  we  have 
been  down  this  same  centre  road  before,  and  we 
could  be  hearing  the  same  sell  job  once  again.  In 
essence,  our  former  centre  structure  was  seen  by 
many  Canadian  coaches  and  swimming  enthusiasts 
as  a  way  to  take  our  top  Canadian  swimmers  away 
from  their  home  clubs  and  pack  them  into  as  many 
as  eight  centres  across  the  country  based  on  a  variety 
of  factors  which,  at  the  time,  were  unclear  to  many. 
Those  centre  swimmers  then  associated  themselves 
with  the  club  team  that  was  linked  "unofficially"  to 
their  centre,  whether  it  was  by  pool  or  by  coach.  In 
short,  under  the  old  centre  structure,  our  Canadian 
club  system  and  their  coaches  were  beginning  to 
feel  that  they  were  becoming  a  feeder  system  for  the 
National  training  centres  and  their  unofficial  mega 
clubs.  More  importantly,  however,  our  club  coaches 
who  wanted  to  make  a  career  out  of  coaching  were 
losing  their  top  prospects  to  these  centres.  What 
would  be  the  difference  now  with  the  new  SNC 
centre  structure? 

Sport  Canada  wants  Training  Centres 

"I  would  like  to  make  it  crystal  clear  that  our  new 
centres  are  not  clubs,"  said  Lafontaine.  "We  have 
money  that  is  earmarked  for  National  Training 
Centres  by  Sport  Canada.  We  did  not  want  to  lose 
that  support.  Our  goal  is  to  pour  that  support 


into  two  centres  instead  of  eight.  By  doing  so,  we 
will  be  able  to  pool  our  resources  to  provide  all 
the  necessary  sports  physiologists,  strength  and 
conditioning  coaches,  doctors,  and  internationally 
renowned  coaches  at  both  centres  for  our  coaches' 
swimmers." 

Recognition  for  homes  club 

More  importantly,  the  questions  that  the  Canadian 
swimming  community  are  asking  themselves  are 
"What  will  be  the  criteria  for  these  new  centres?" 
and  "How  will  our  Canadian  club  structure  benefit 
from  these  centres?" 

"The  criteria  for  swimmers  to  get  into  the 
centres  are  very  clear,"  said  Lafontaine.  "Swimmers 
who  achieve  880  points  on  the  FINA  IPS  Chart  can 
apply  for  a  spot  in  the  centres.  Each  application 
must  be  signed  by  the  club  coach  of  said  swimmer. 
This  is  an  important  component  to  the  swimmer's 
application  as  we  want  our  club  coaches  to  be  a  part 
of  that  process."  As  for  our  club  system,  the  answer 
was  very  precise.  "Our  Canadian  clubs  are  the 
strength  of  the  Canadian  system,"  said  Lafontaine. 
"Every  swimmer  who  is  accepted  and  signs  on  to  be 
a  part  of  a  centre  is  obligated  to  represent  their  club 
for  a  full  year.  Furthermore,  all  club  grant  money 
achieved  and  National  teams  made  go  back  to  the 
club  and  coach  of  record  of  said  swimmer." 

Bergen  and  Nagy  add  credibility 

There  are  many  other  resources  that  are  provided 
to  our  clubs  and  club  coaches  through  our  new 
Canadian  Centre  system.  "We  have  gone  and 
hired  legendary  coaches  Paul  Bergen  and  Josef 
Nagy  to  work  at  our  centres,"  said  Lafontaine. 
Bergen,  coach  of  Olympic  gold-medallist  Inge  De 
Bruijn  and  Canadian  world-record-holder  Allison 
Higson,  is  the  Head  Centre  coach  in  Montreal,  with 
Canadian  Commonwealth  coach  Benoit  Lebrun  as 
his  Assistant.  Nagy,  arguably  the  best  breaststroke 
coach  in  the  world,  will  assist  one  of  Canada's  most 
accomplished  international  leaders,  Head  Centre 
Coach  Tom  Johnson  at  UBC. 

"Our  centres  are  not  only  there  for  the  swimmer 
but  also  for  the  coach,"  said  Lafontaine.  "There 
are  countless  opportunities  for  our  Canadian  club 
coaches  to  come  to  the  centres  for  a  day  or  a  week 
to  be  mentored  by  our  centre  coaches.  Club  coaches 
can  also  set  up  training  camps  for  their  club  for  a 


weekend  or  a  week  to  use  the  services  provided  by 
our  centres.  We  really  want  to  get  our  Canadian  club 
coaches  involved  in  the  learning  process." 

The  goal  is  to  help  clubs  and  coaches 

How  do  the  centre  coaches  view  their  role  in  the  new 
Canadian  Centre  structure?  "I  am  so  pleased  to  be 
back  in  Canada,"  said  Coach  Bergen.  "I  have  gotten 
reacquainted  with  coaches  from  around  the  country. 
I  have  for  the  most  part  been  traveling,  speaking  at 
the  Ontario  Swim  Coaches  conference  as  well  giving 
three  Provincial  camps  throughout  Quebec.  I  got  to 
work  with  coaches  and  their  programs,  providing 
them  with  feedback  to  help  them  develop.  All  the 
coaches  seem  positive  and  receptive  to  making 
adjustments  to  their  programs.  The  goal  is  to  bring 
our  swimmers  and  coaches  in  Canada  from  the  level 
we  are  at  to  the  next  level  of  performance." 

Coach  Lebrun  is  of  the  same  mind  as  Coach 
Bergen.  "1  have  been  a  club  coach  all  my  life," 
said  Lebrun.  "The  goal  is  to  take  the  good  of  what 
we  were  doing  and  make  it  better.  The  perspective 
is  different  and  the  mandate  is  simple.  We  need  to 
produce  finalists  and  medalists  at  the  Olympics. 
With  our  centres,  our  swimmers  and  coaches  have 
the  resources  to  allow  them  to  be  more  precise 
with  their  goals  and  development.  Everything  is 
geared  towards  swimming."  Lebrun  adds,  "Our 
top  swimmers  are  learning  to  be  professional,  and 
our  centres  are  the  major  tool  in  allowing  them  to 
achieve  that  goal." 

Coach  Johnson's  message  to  the  Canadian 
swimming  community  was  as  simple  as  it  was 
important  for  all  to  understand.  "I  am  working  for 
all  the  coaches  in  Canada,"  said  Johnson.  "I  am 
not  working  for  UBC  or  the  Pacific  Dolphins;  I  am 
working  for  Canada.  I  want  to  make  Olympic  medal 
winners  and  finalists  into  a  program  dynamic  in  the 
country.  I  want  our  Canadian  coaches  and  swimmers 
to  recognize  that  we  can  be  the  best  in  the  world." 
Johnson  adds,  "The  work  that  Pierre  (Lafontaine) 
has  done  is  extremely  positive.  Our  centres  are  there 
as  a  service  to  the  clubs  and  swimmers  in  the  area. 
Together,  we  can  create  an  environment  that  builds 
programs,  strategies,  and  confidence." 

The  new  Canadian  Centre  structure  is  in 
place.  The  role  of  the  centres  is  in  place.  The 
centres  are  there  for  every  club  coach  and  aspiring 
international  swimmer  to  take  full  advantage  of. 
Every  club  in  Canada  has  the  opportunity  to  benefit 
by  supporting  our  centres.  It  is  up  to  the  coaches, 
who  aspire  to  be  the  best  coaches  they  want  to  be. 
to  take  advantage  of  the  resources  provided  to  them 
through  the  centres. 

"The  future  of  swimming  in  Canada  is  in  the 
hands  of  our  clubs  and  especially  our  coaches."  said 
Lafontaine.  It  is  that  simple.  ■

PERSONALITY:  LEANNE  SIRUP  WILKINSON 


BACK  TO  HER  ROOTS  AND  BACK  TO  THE  POOL 

One  woman  gives  the  gift  of  swimming  to  her  community 


Nikki  Dryden 

Over  15  years  ago,  Leanne  Sirup  (nee  Wilkinson) 
was  one  of  the  top  age-group  swimmers  in  Canada. 
A  distance  girl,  she  could  tough  it  out  with  the  best, 
and  qualified  in  1989  for  the  Canadian  youth  team 
for  Amersfoort,  Netherlands  and  in  1990  for  the 
team  that  went  to  Vittel,  France  for  the  8  Nations 
Youth  Championships.  Against  some  of  the  best  in 
the  world  in  Vittel,  she  won  a  handful  of  silvers 
and  bronzes  in  the  100  and  200  flys,  the  200 
and  400  IMs,  and  the  400  and  800  frees.  She 
was  on  the  brink  of  making  the  senior  team, 
but  after  a  tough  move  from  her  small  town 
club  in  Duncan  to  the  big  city  of  Victoria,  she 
walked  away  from  the  sport  prior  to  the  1992 
Olympic  Trials.  And  she  headed  for  some  dark 
times,  as  she  calls  it.  Living  away  from  home 
as  a  young  teen,  battles  with  her  weight  and 
with  her  coach  over  it,  and  probably  a  bit  of 
over-training  pushed  Leanne  to  quit  the  sport 
well  before  she  reached  her  potential.  It  took  five 
years  before  she  came  back  to  the  water  and  five 
more  to  find  the  love  again. 

Bruce  Clarke,  her  old  coach  from  the  Duncan 
Stingrays,  wooed  her  back  to  compete  at  the  North 
American  Indigenous  Games  in  1997.  Leanne's 
mother  was  Inuit,  from  Clyde  River,  Nunavut, 
and  after  a  little  training,  she  won  five  golds  and 
three  silvers  at  the  Games.  She  was  then  named 
the  Aboriginal  athlete  of  the  year  in  BC  and  was 
inducted  into  the  BC  Sports  Hall  of  Fame.  From 
her  wins  in  the  pool,  Leanne  took  to  the  ocean  and 
started  doing  long  open-water  races,  including  a  34 
km  swim  across  Lake  Cowichan;  it  took  her  over 
nine  hours. 

It  was  at  one  of  her  open-water  races  that  she 
ran  into  Gary  Vandermeulen,  the  then-coach  of 
the  Stingrays  and  coach  to  his  wife,  Scottish  sprint 
star  Alison  Sheppard.  Gary  needed  an  assistant  and 
asked  if  Leanne  was  interested.  She  said  yes. 

"I  started  teaching/coaching  swimming,  but 
it  was  nothing  of  huge  consequence,"  said  Leanne. 
"Then  I  started  coaching  fulltime  in  2001  and 
realized  I  wanted  to  change  from  swimmer  to  adult. 
I  kept  swimming  during  that  time,  though,  doing 
open-water  races  and  training  with  Gary.  I  liked  his 
practices  and  enjoyed  it.  I  could  see  where  he  was 
going  with  things,  and  I  kept  swimming  under  him 


to  learn  from  him." 

After  Vandermeulen  left,  Leanne  got  passed 
over  to  lead  the  Stingrays,  but  a  group  of  parents 
got  together  and  asked  if  she  would  coach  their  kids. 
She  took  them  up  on  their  offer  and,  in  2004,  started 
the  Cowichan  Stseelhtun  Swim  Club,  which  boasts 
almost  50  swimmers.  Pronounced  st'al'tuhn,  it 
means  "salmon"  in  the  Hul'qumi'num'  language 
of  the  Cowichan  tribes,  with  whom  the  club  is

currently  in  the  process  of  creating  a  formal 
partnership.  While  they  are  having  trouble  securing 
pool  time,  the  club's  aim  is  to  provide  a  swimming 
program  for  the  youth  of  the  Cowichan  Valley. 
"My  philosophy  is  participation.  Everyone  gets  a 
chance  to  swim,  and  if  they  want  to  excel,  I  can 
help  them  with  that  too.  Kids  need  discipline  to  stay 
focused,  and  the  discipline  we  provide  in  swimming 
translates  into  the  rest  of  our  lives.  Without  focus, 
many  youth  will  float  along  and  don't  accomplish 
much." 

Not  only  has  Leanne  rediscovered  her  love  of 
swimming,  but  she's  also  using  all  its  benefits  to 
help  youth  in  her  community.  This  July,  with  the 
support  of  SwimBC  and  the  Aboriginal  Sports  and 
Recreation  Association  of  BC,  Leanne  led  a  group 
of  eight  kids  from  BC  to  the  North  American 
Indigenous  Games  in  Colorado;  they  came  home 
with  35  medals.  She  also  provides  opportunity 
and  discipline  to  those  who  would  otherwise 
not  have  many  prospects. 

Despite  seeing  the  dark  side  of  sport  and 
the  darker  side  of  life,  Leanne  has  finally 
found  peace  with  herself  and  the  water.  She 
doesn't  think  you  have  to  compromise  fun  and 
participation  to  be  successful,  and  while  her 
program  is  still  in  its  infancy,  she  certainly  has 
the  experience  and  heart  to  flourish.  ■

YOGA  FOR  SWIMMERS 


YOGA  FOR  FREESTYLERS 

Designed  for  strength  and  flexibility 


Freestyle:  A  race  in  which  a  contestant  is  free  to 
use  any  style. 

Crawl:  A  slow  mode  of  transport. 

"From  these  two  definitions  ",  it  doesn't  tell  us 

much  about  the  stroke  we  will  concentrate  on  in 
this  article. 

The  front  crawl 

For  a  long  time,  it  was  referred  to  as  the  Australian 
Crawl.  In  the  water,  it  is  the  most  efficient  and, 
thereby,  the  fastest  stroke.  It  is  said  that  lifeguards, 
who  required  a  strong  stroke  while  dealing  with 
heavy  surf,  developed  the  crawl.  In  succeeding 
decades,  the  Crawl  has  been  through  many 
changes  and  many  alterations.  Research  has 
been  spent  on  calculating  the  timing  of  the  legs 
and  amis,  the  exact  positioning  of  the  head  for 
breathing,  the  entry  of  the  arm,  and  the  extent 
of  the  pull  back.  The  freedom  of  this  stroke  has 
disappeared.  But  the  optimum  intention  remains: 
get  yourself  through  the  water  as  streamlined  and 
as  accurately  as  you  can. 

Pace 

If  the  job  is  to  get  to  the  finish  line  first,  it  requires 
a  sophisticated  connection  between  the  brain  and 
the  muscles  to  calculate  your  energy  store  and  still 
be  able  to  execute  your  technique  at  a  high  level. 

When  do  you  hold  back?  When  do  you  let  go? 
Is  it  possible  to  feel  secure  while  holding  back, 
staying  behind  the  other  swimmers,  and  believing 
that  you  will  have  the  strength  to  take  over  by  the 
end  of  the  race? 

I  was  in  University  early  and,  consequently, 
found  myself  racing  against  my  older  sister  (Judy 
Garay)  at  CIAUs.  She  is  five  years  older  and  was 
a  much  more  accomplished  swimmer  than 
I,  having  already  won  a  gold  at  the  Canadian 
Championships.  We  were  in  the  final  of  the  200  m 
breaststroke.  I  dove  in  the  water  like  a  bat  out  of 
hell  and  split  my  first  100  faster  than  I  had  ever 
swum  before.  I  held  on  until  the  last  50  m.  My 
mind  raced  ahead,  I  lost  focus,  and  watched  my 
sister  pass  me  by.  In  my  head,  I  could  not  beat  her. 
In  my  heart,  I  was  afraid.  My  body  was  capable  of 
winning  that  race,  but  my  thought  process  killed 
me  and  the  piano  fell. 

My  mother  Valeria  Gyenge,  was  an  unknown 
swimmer  on  the  Hungarian  team  in  1952.  Her 


event  was  the  400  m  freestyle.  She  was  second  or 
third  in  Hungary  in  this  event.  She  knew  she  was 
not  fast,  but  she  knew  that  she  had  the  endurance 
and  the  strength  to  speed  up  in  the  last  100.  The 
final  was  filled  with  world  record  holders.  She 
remained  calm.  She  didn't  panic  when  she  was 
behind  the  leaders  for  the  first  200  m.  She  knew  it 
was  too  fast  for  her,  a  pace  that  she  could  not  hold 
for  a  full  400  m.  She  kept  back  at  a  safe  distance 
from  the  lead.  At  the  250-m  turn,  she  called  on 
the  strength  she  was  holding  in  her  core,  powered 
up  her  stroke,  and  won  the  gold  medal  with  a  new 
Olympic  record. 

Experiment 

While  going  through  this  practice,  which  is 
specifically  designed  for  strength  and  flexibility 
in  the  joints  and  muscles  most  used  in  the  front 
crawl,  play  with  the  idea  of  pulling  in,  feeling 
secure,  conserving  the  energy,  and  then  letting  it 
fly.  In  many  of  these  asanas,  the  arms  are  extended. 
Play  with  the  positioning  of  the  arm,  think  of  your 
stroke,  and  don't  forget  to  have  a  good  time. 

To  begin 

Before  going  into  this  practice,  please  refer  back  to 
the  first  two  articles  in  SwimNews  "Learning  About 
Yoga"  and  "Essentials  of  Yoga."  If  you  feel  pain  or 
discomfort  during  the  practice,  ask  yourself  if  it  is 
from  taking  your  body  to  a  new  and  challenging 
place,  or  if  it  is  a  sharp,  inappropriate  pain.  If  it  is 
the  latter,  stop,  refocus,  go  back  to  your  breath,  and 
start  again.  If  this  pain  persists,  it  would  be  best  to 
seek  out  a  yoga  practitioner  to  take  you  through 
your  practice. 

SUKHASANA:  a  comfortable  cross-legged  seated 
position.  ("Essentials  of  Yoga") 

•  Deepen  and  soften  your  breath.  Close  your 

eyes. 

•  Become  aware  of  the  noises  and  the 
atmosphere  that  surrounds  you. 

•  As  you  inhale,  feel  the  energy  of  the 
atmosphere  moving  into  your  body;  as  you  exhale, 
feel  your  energy  moving  into  the  atmosphere. 

•  Feel  your  connection  with  the  rest  of  the 
world.  As  each  wave  in  a  pool  is  a  separate  energy 
force,  each  wave  is  also  connected  to  the  body  of 
water.  Each  swimmer  creates  his  or  her  own  wake; 


each  wake  is  affected  by  the  others  in  the  pool. 
Contemplate  this  for  a  while,  wherever  it  might 
take  you. 

•  When  you  are  ready,  open  your  eyes. 

•  Come  to  TADASANA  (mountain  pose). 

•  Follow  through  series  one,  two,  and  three  of 
the  warm  up  ("Essentials  of  Yoga")  and  finish  in 
ADHO  MUKHA  SVANASANA  (downward  facing  dog). 

•  Come  back  into  TADASANA 

If  the  former  articles  are  not  available  to  you, 
I  suggest  warming  up  before  jumping  into  this 
practice.  Spend  at  least  20  to  25  minutes  doing  a 
basic  warm-up  in  which  you  create  some  heat  in 
your  body  to  loosen  and  limber  your  muscles  and 
joints. 

The  Practice 

From  TADASANA 

•  Exhale;  bend  the  knees,  hips  and  shoulders 
facing  front,  take  the  left  foot  back  to  the  floor 
behind  you,  straighten  the  left  leg,  toe  mounds  on 
the  floor,  the  heel  reaching  back. 

•  Inhale;  shoulder  blades  moving  in  and 
down,  inner  rotate  the  thighs  back  and  away  from 
each  other,  scoop  the  tailbone. 

•  Exhale;  arms  above  the  head,  reaching  for 
the  sky. 

This  posture: 

VIRABHADRASANA I  (VIRABHADRA  -  a 
warrior)  is  the  first  asana  in  the  series  one  warm 
up  ("Essentials  of  Yoga"). 

■  VIRABHADRASANA 
,  III 

•  From 
VIRABHADRASANA  I, 

•  Exhale;  bring  the 
torso  over  the  front  leg,  amis  out  in  front,  palms 
facing  each  other. 

•  Inhale;  straighten  the  front  leg  and  lift  the 
back  leg  parallel  to  die  floor. 

•  Keep  the  standing  leg  straight,  the  hips  level, 
the  back  foot  flexed,  and  the  shoulders  open  (don't 
hunch  forward). 

•Spread  the  toes  wide  on  both  feet. 

•  Keep  the  tailbone  scooped  and  die  tummy 
firm;  find  that  ball  of  fire,  the  core  strengdi  right  in 
your  centre.

•  Exhale;  from  this  core,  extend  the  top  half 
of  the  body  towards  the  front  of  the  room,  the  lower 
half  of  the  body  towards  the  back  of  the  room. 

•  Imagine  the  back  foot  is  standing  on  a  wall. 
-Stay  here  for  5  deep,  even  breaths.  With  each 

inhale,  bring  the  energy  into  your  core;  with  each 
exhale,  extend  it  back  out  again. 
To  come  out: 

•  Inhale;  bend  the  front  leg  and  softly  come 
back  to  VIRABHADRASANA  I. 

•  Exhale;  arms  down  to  your  sides. 

•  Inhale;  TADASANA. 

•  Repeat  other  side. 

VASISTHASANA  (VASISTHA  -  name  of  a 
|  celebrated  sage) 

•  Come  on  to  your 
hands  and  knees. 

•  Spread  your 
fingers  wide,  creases  of 
the  wrists  lined  up  with 

the  front  of  your  mat. 

•  Inhale;  come  on  to  the  toe  mounds,  spread 
the  toes  wide,  inner  rotate  the  thighs  back  and 
away  from  each  other. 

•  Exhale;  scoop  the  tailbone,  lift  the  hips  up 
and  back  coming  into  ADHO  MUKHA  SVANASANA 
(downward  facing  dog  -  "Essentials  of  Yoga"). 

•  Inhale;  bring  the  inner  feet  together. 

•  Exhale;  roll  onto  the  outside  edge  of  the 
right  foot,  keep  the  inner  feet  glued  together,  both 
feet  flexed  and  the  toes  spread  wide,  bring  the  left 
hand  to  the  left  hip. 

•  Inhale;  lift  the  right  hip  and  the  right  inner 
thigh  towards  the  sky,  extend  the  left  ami  up 
towards  the  ceiling. 

•  Stay  here  for  5  deep,  even  breaths.  With  each 
inhale,  pull  the  energy  into  the  centreline  of  your 
body;  with  each  exhale,  extend  out  while  keeping 
this  strength  in  your  core.  Let  your  shoulders  move 
down  towards  your  tailbone  and  in  towards  each 
other. 

(Note-If  you  are  feeling  this  too  much  in  the 
shoulder,  lift  through  the  bottom  leg  and  hip.  The 
strength  in  this  asana  is  from  lifting  the  hip  and 
thigh,  and  keeping  your  feet  flexed  and  together, 
not  by  holding  yourself  up  by  your  shoulder.) 

•  Exhale;  ADHO  MUKHA  SVANASANA. 

•  Inhale;  repeat  other  side. 
To  come  out: 

•  Exhale;  ADHO  MUKHA  SVANASANA,  then 
come  to  your  hands  and  knees. 

The  next  three  asanas  are  most  exhilarating 
when  done  on  one  side  first,  then  the  other. 
Through  this  series,  remember  to  keep  the  energy 
compact  and  as  you  extend  through  the  limbs;  you 


are  not  giving  the  energy  out,  just  rejuvenating  the 
body.  Find  the  power  in  the  release.

outside  of  your  shin  or  to  the  floor.  Bring  the  hand 
down  only  as  far  as  you  can  keep  a  straight  open 
spine  on  both  sides.  Left  hand  extends  towards  the 
sky.

To  Follow 

When  you  are  training,  doing  a  set  of  front  crawl, 
reflect  on  this  yoga  sequence  and  see  if  you 
can  experience  the  postures  within  your  stroke. 
Remember  the  mental  focus  and  body  awareness, 
especially  during  those  long  freestyle  sets.  Perhaps 
you  are  already  much  more  aware.  You  might 
already  be  able  to  recognize  the  improvement. 
Namaste.  ■

DIET 


EATING  RIGHT  BEFORE 
(AND  AFTER)  COMPETITION 


Nikki  Dryden 

We've  had  lots  of  parents  asking  us  how  to  get  their 
swimmers  to  eat  properly  before  competition.  Fussy 
eaters,  nervous  kids,  and  timing  make  it  a  challenge 
to  get  the  right  food  in  your  body  so  you  can  race 
your  best.  While  every  athlete  is  different,  we  can 
provide  a  few  rules  that  should  make  pre-race  eating 
easier  and  better. 

Your  pre-race  meal  serves  two  purposes:  to  stop 
you  from  getting  hungry  before  and  during  your 


keep  you  going.  The  longer  your  race,  the  more 
glycogen  starts  to  factor  in. 

Overnight,  when  your  body  is  fasting,  glycogen 
stores  are  lowered.  If  you  have  to  get  up  and  swim 
heats  without  eating,  you  are  starting  with  a  half- 
full  tank.  But  if  you  eat  first,  you  top  up  the  stores  so 
your  body  can  last  longer. 

Of  course,  you  don't  want  a  full  tummy  when 
you  are  racing,  so  you  should  eat  your  full  meal 
one  to  three  hours  before  your  race  so  your  body  has 


High  GI  foods  are  better  after  you  race 
since  they  replenish  glycogen  faster  than  low  Gl 
foods.  You  should  be  eating  these  foods  within 
15  minutes  after  a  race.  If  you  have  another 
event,  even  eating  something  small  or  drinking 
something  will  help  you  recover  from  your  first 
race  and  keep  you  in  top  shape  for  your  second  one. 

Caffeine  and  Junk  Food 

Caffeine  is  a  stimulant,  but  caffeine  does  not 
work  for  everyone.  Some  people  are  very  senstive 
to  caffeine  and  too  much  can  lead  to  stomach 
upset  or  dehydration,  which  can  really  hurt  your 
performance.  But  for  some  people  in  middle- 
distance  events,  caffeine  has  been  shown  to  improve 
your  ability  to  pick  it  up  at  the  end  of  a  race.  It's  up 
to  you  on  this  one — a  lot  will  depend  on  your  age 
and  your  event. 

Whatever  you  do,  don't  drink  pop  to  get  your 
caffeine  kick!  Junk  food,  often  found  at  pool 
concession  stands,  should  be  avoided  completely.

Just  because  you  don't  see  yourself  sweating  at  a

it  can  also  be  an  opportunity  to  try  what  nutrition  a  Sp0rts 
works  best  for  you. 


The  Basics 

The  key  to  eating  right  at  a  big  meet  actually  starts 
much  sooner  than  your  breakfast  before  heats  or 
even  your  dinner  the  night  before.  Eating  a  proper 
diet  during  training  will  ensure  that  you  have  good 
energy  stores  in  your  body  before  the  meet  even 
starts.  In  the  past,  big  pasta  dinners  the  night  before 
a  meet  were  considered  a  must,  but  this  probably  has 
a  neglible  effect  on  events  that  are  short,  like  swim 
races.  The  key  is  starting  out  with,  and  keeping  up, 
glycogen  stores  in  your  body  to  fuel  your  muscles 
every  day. 

During  swimming,  your  muscles  burn  fat  and 
glucose,  which  you  get  from  the  glycogen  stores  in 
your  muscles  and  glucose  in  the  blood.  When  you 
run  out  of  the  glucose  in  your  blood  during  exercise, 
your  body  can  reach  into  the  stores  to  get  more  to 


time  to  digest  your  food.  If  you  are  nervous,  it  may 
take  longer  to  digest,  so  each  person  will  vary. 

Hypoglycaemic  Backlash? 

There  are  two  kinds  of  carbs  that  you  can  eat  to 
boost  your  glycogen.  Some  give  you  a  big  surge — 
high  glycaemic  index  (GI)  foods  like  glucose, 
bread,  and  bananas — and  some  give  you  sustained 
energy — low  GI  foods  like  beans  and  lentils.  There 
are  contradicting  studies  on  whether  eating  high  GI 
foods  right  before  a  race  cause  a  sugar-low  backlash 
or  not.  A  lot  of  this  depends  on  you  and  how  long 
your  race  is. 

What  you  eat  at  the  last  minute  before  a  race 
probably  isn't  going  to  make  as  much  difference 
as  eating  a  proper  meal  before,  so  try  to  replace 
glycogen  after  and  between  races,  and  eat  healthy 
during  training. 


way  throughout  the  competition. 

One  set  of  guidelines  to  follow  for  consuming 
enough  water  during  exercise  is  as  follows:  about 
1  hour  before  exercise,  drink  1-2  cups  of  water; 
while  exercising,  drink  about  2  cups  per  hour  (half 
a  cup  every  15  minutes);  and  after  exercising, 
another  2  cups  or  more  if  you  feel  thirsty. 

Of  course,  waiting  until  you  feel  thirsty  is 
not  the  way  to  stay  hydrated.  If  you  wait  until 
you  feel  thirsty  to  drink  fluids,  it  is  too  late  as  you 
are  already  dehydrated.  Also,  water  is  not  the  only 
thing  you  lose  during  exercise.  Electrolytes  (such  as 
sodium  and  potassium)  are  also  lost  during  intense 
activity  when  you  sweat.  Drinking  a  sports  drink 
before  and  after  your  races  will  help  you  replace 
these  electrolytes,  as  well  as  provide  fuel  for  your 
muscles  that  break  down  during  racing. 

The  Final  Word 

The  bottom  line  is  that  you  are  unique,  and  copying 
other  swimmers  isn't  necessarily  going  to  get  you  to 
perform  at  your  best.  Just  like  getting  enough  sleep 
and  training  hard  are  things  you  do  to  swim  fast, 
what  you  do  or  don't  put  in  your  body  is  also  crucial. 
You  need  to  eat  before  you  race,  so  keep  on  trying 
to  find  what  works  best  for  you.  Otherwise,  all  that 
work  you  put  into  your  workouts  will  be  lost  come 
race  time.  ■

COLWIN  ON  COACHING 


AN  AGE  WHEN  THEORY  AND  PRACTICE  CLASHED 

The  1930s  and  the  1940s  marked  a  time  of  puzzlement,  theory,  and 
experimentation  for  swimmers  and  coaches  everywhere. 

The  Evolution  of  the  Crawl  (Part  Five) 


Cecil  Colwin 

Crawl-stroke  development  entered  a  dark  age  during 
the  third  and  fourth  decades  of  the  20th  Century, 
1930 — 1950,  seven  years  of  which  were  interrupted 
by  World  War  II,  causing  a  12-year  gap,  1936- 
1948,  in  Olympic  competition,  as  well  as  a  gap  in 
information  exchange. 

The  writer  grew  up  in  this  era  of  swimming  and 
later  went  on  to  follow  a  career  as  a  full-time  coach. 
The  1940s  provided  few  formal  coaching  or  training 
opportunities  for  aspiring  youngsters,  and  the  few 
people  who  knew  anything  about  coaching  were 
away  in  the  forces. 

This  was  a  time  of  puzzlement,  theory,  and 
experimentation  for  swimmers  and  coaches 
everywhere.  When  compared  with  the  information 
readily  available  today,  much  of  which  is  set  out  in 
neat  synthesis,  young  swimmers  and  coaches  alike 
were  left  to  their  own  devices  to  learn  the  finer  points 
of  technique. 

For  instance,  most  students  of  the  sport  didn't 
understand  the  three-dimensional  nature  of  the 
swimming  stroke,  and  especially  how  one  phase  of 
the  stroke  could  affect  the  other.  As  Orville  Wright 
said  about  learning  flight  from  birds,  "After  you 
once  know  the  trick  and  know  what  to  look  for,  you 
start  to  see  things  that  you  didn't  notice  when  you 
did  not  know  exactly  what  to  look  for."  (Vogel,  1998, 
p.26l) 

Seeking  Answers 

In  the  early  evenings,  when  most  recreational 
swimmers  had  gone  home  to  eat,  my  teammates 
and  I  would  meet  to  swim  laps.  We  swam  shoulder- 
to-shoulder,  pacing  each  other;  "circle  swimming" 
had  not  yet  been  invented.  When  we  stopped  for  a 
"breather,"  we  would  discuss  certain  parts  of  the 
stroke  that  we  were  trying  to  master. 

We  would  mull  over  such  topics  as  "What  is 
the  best  head  position?  High  head  or  low?  How  far 
should  the  head  turn  to  the  side  to  inhale?" 

"Is  a  flat  body  position  preferable  to  rolling 
the  shoulders?"  And,  if  rolling  was  a  bad  fault,  as 
many  insisted  it  was,  "How  could  one  prevent  the 
shoulders  from  performing  this  natural  tendency?" 

With  the  wisdom  of  hindsight,  I  can  think  of  no 
other  phase  of  swimming  where  theory  was  allowed 


to  override  practicality  than  the  question  of  whether 
or  not  a  swimmer  should  roll  or  keep  a  flat  body 
position. 

When  I  first  started  out  as  a  serious  competitive 
swimmer,  I  rolled  my  shoulders  naturally  when 
swimming  crawl.  In  doing  so,  my  stroke  felt  more 
powerful  and  comfortable. 

I  probably  would  have  continued  rolling  my 
shoulders  had  I  not  let  so-called  experts  dissuade  me 
from  doing  so  on  the  advice  that  it  set  up  resistance 
that  I  couldn't  feel. 

Searching  for  information  on  different  topics,  I 
started  exploring  second-hand  bookshops  for  books 
or  magazine  articles  on  swimming.  Over  the  years  I 
found  rare  books  as  well  as  interesting  magazines 
and  photographs  from  the  1930s  onwards,  some  of 
which  appear  in  this  article. 

Crawl-Stroke  Variations 

There  were  individual  variations  of  the  "American 
Crawl"  as  seen  in  the  techniques  of  such  male 
stars  as  Charles  Daniels,  Duke  Kahanamoku, 
Johnny  Weissmuller,  Alan  Ford,  Bill  Smith,  and 
Jimmy  McLane. 

The  American  females,  Ethelda  Bleibtrey, 
Gertrude  Ederle,  Helene  Madison,  Lenore  Kight- 
Wingard,  Ann  Curtis,  and  others,  developed  types 
of  crawl  stroke  better  suited  to  women  and  their 
natural  buoyancy,  especially  the  number  of  leg 
beats  per  ami-stroke  cycle. 

Successful  swimmers  from  the  Netherlands, 
Hungary,  Denmark,  France,  and  Germany  swam 
a  variety  of  stroke  patterns.  Many  European 
swimmers  used  a  peculiar  arm  action  in  which 
the  arms  were  recovered  over  the  water  with  a 
low,  lateral,  scythe-like  sweep,  while  the  Dutch 
women  used  a  high-elbow  recovery  with  each  ami 
smashing  into  the  water  at  the  entry.  (Annbruster, 
1942) 

From  the  Far  East  came  the  Japanese  Crawl 
used  by  Miyazaki,  Kitamura,  Masonori  Yusa, 
Naboru  Terada,  Shoza  Makino,  Shunpei  Uto,  and 
many  other  compatriots  who  scored  sensational 
victories  at  the  1932  Los  Angeles  Olympics. 


Major  False  Trails  of  the  Dark- Age  Era 

During  the  mishmash  course  of  crawl  development 
in  the  1940-1950  era,  many  false  trails  were 
followed.  This  was  especially  true  of  the  three  notable 
errors,  both  in  concept  and  practice,  discussed  in 
this  article,  namely: 

1.  Too  high  a  head  position, 

2.  The  flat-body  position,  and 

3.  The  "catch-up"  stroke. 

1.  TOO  HIGH  A  HEAD  POSITION 

Johnny  Weissmuller,  the  major  proponent  of  the 
hydroplaning  concept  in  swimming,  claimed  to 
have  been  able  to  hydroplane  simply  by  lifting  his 
head  out  of  the  water  and  inclining  his  chest  at  a 
slight  angle  to  the  surface.  (Weissmuller,  1930, 
p.72) 

But  the  hydroplaning  principle  is  not  applicable 
to  human  swimmers  because  they  are  unable  to 
reach  a  speed  necessary  for  the  bow  wave  to  come 
under  the  body. 

Rather  than  planing  over  the  surface,  an  80- 
year-old  "Pathe  News-Reel"  movie  film,  given  to 
me  by  my  colleague,  Forbes  Carlile,  clearly  shows 
Weissmuller  swimming  with  his  head  completely 
out  of  the  water  and  pushing  large  mounds  of  water 
ahead  of  him.  (See  Fig.l)  Weissmuller's  stroke 
placement  was  poor  and  so  was  his  body  alignment. 
Erratic  vortex  shedding  showed  his  arm  stroke 
constantly  slipping  the  water,  and  the  amount  of  hip 
sway  in  his  stroke  was  surprising.  Had  the  world  of 
swimming  been  copying  a  very  poor  technique? 

Weissmuller  himself  was  quoted  as  saying:  "I 
could  make  good  time  because  I  was  so  long  and 
skinny,  shooting  through  the  water  like  a  stick." 
Maybe  Weissmuller  succeeded  because  of  a  thin 
body  shape,  despite  poor  basic  technique. 

Copying  Weissmuller's  false  hydroplaning 
concept  caused  many  talented  swimmers  to  fall 
short  of  their  potential,  because  a  high  position  of 
the  chest  and  upper  spine  increased  resistance  with 
large  volumes  of  water  pushed  ahead  of  the  swimmer 
and  swirling  over  the  lower  back  and  hips. 

This  increased  resistance  only  slowed  the 
swimmer  and  increased  the  energ}'  output 
required  to  overcome  it.

Adjusting  Head  Position 

At  what  point  swimmers  finally  realized  the  futility 
of  trying  to  hydroplane  remains  a  matter  for 
conjecture.  To  hold  a  straight  course  before  better 
pool  filtration  and  clearer  water  aided  a  swimmer's 
vision,  it  was  common  practice  to  either  swim  all 
the  time  with  the  head  out,  or  to  raise  the  head 
occasionally  to  take  one's  bearings.  Swimming  with 
head  held  high  and  eyes  clear  of  the  surface  was 
easier  for  tall  lanky  swimmers  with  long  necks  than 
for  swimmers  less  endowed  who  found  a  lower  head 
position  more  comfortable. 

Eventually,  swimmers  settled  for  a  head 
position  that  varied  from  a  position  with  the  eyes 
looking  forward  just  under  the  surface  of  the  water, 
to  a  head  position  with  the  eyes  looking  well  down 
at  the  bottom  of  the  pool. 

Different  Head  Positions  for 
Sprinting  and  Long  Distance 

Another  reason  for  swimming  with  a  high  head  and 
shoulder  position,  particularly  when  swimming 
short  distances,  was  that  this  posture  enabled  the 
swimmer  to  engage  pressure  on  the  water  as  soon 
as  the  hand  entered.  Using  a  "chop  catch"  or  "dig 
pull,"  as  they  were  called,  it  was  possible  to  develop 
stronger  leverage  early  in  the  stroke  by  "riding"  on 
the  downward  press  of  the  arms. 

However,  when  swimming  longer  distances,  it 
was  common  to  swim  with  the  head  well  down  and 
to  let  the  water  carry  the  weight  of  the  body  instead 
of  having  to  press  down  with  hands  and  forearms 
for  support. 

Swimming  in  Sea  Water 

When  swimming  in  sea  water,  yet  another 
adjustment  was  made,  this  time  to  counter  the 
unusual  buoyancy  caused  by  sea  water.  To  prevent 
the  kick  from  rising  too  high  out  of  the  water  and 
losing  purchase,  the  head  was  raised  higher  than 
usual  to  keep  the  feet  submerged. 

Head  Too  High  When  Breathing 

To  keep  the  body  as  flat  as  possible,  many  swimmers 
kept  their  heads  high  to  prevent  rolling  when 
breathing.  Only  a  half-turn  of  the  head  to  inhale  was 
necessary  with  the  head  still  mainly  facing  forward 
and  only  a  few  inches  to  the  side.  Many  swimmers 
held  their  heads  so  high  that  the  entire  crown  of  the 
head  was  out  of  the  water  from  the  middle  of  the 
forehead  all  around  the  head  to  the  occipital  bone 
at  the  back  of  the  head. 

This  high  position  of  the  head  caused  great 
resistance  instead  of  producing  a  smooth  flowing 
bow  wave  wrapped  closely  around  the  body.  Largely 
unnoticed  by  swimmers  and  coaches  of  the  era,  who 
had  little  knowledge  of  fluid  dynamics,  swimming 
with  head  too  high  hindered  progress  in  crawl  stroke

2.  THE  FLAT  BODY  POSITION 

In  the  mid-20th  century  the  need  to  swim  with  a 
flat  body  position  became  almost  a  religion  among 
the  accepted  gurus  of  the  sport.  On  March  18, 1944, 
Alan  Ford  broke  Weissmuller's  17-year-old  world 
100  yards  freestyle  record  of  51  seconds  when  he 
recorded  49J  seconds  in  the  Yale  Pool,  New  Haven, 
Connecticut.  His  Yale  University  coach,  Bob  Kiphuth, 
said  that  Ford's  stroke  was  near  perfect  excepting  for 
a  slight  drop  of  his  right  shoulder  as  he  turned  his 
head  to  breathe. 

Kiphuth  insisted  that  there  should  be  "no 
dipping  of  the  shoulder  or  rolling  of  the  body"  as 
well  as  "no  lunging  of  one  shoulder  ahead  of  the 
other." 

He  added  that  the  arms  should  move  in  the 
shoulder  joint,  but  that  the  shoulder  itself  should 
remain  in  a  fixed  position  (Kiphuth,  1942,  p.72) 

Maintaining  this  posture  restricted  the  mobility 
of  the  shoulder  girdle  with  the  result  that  swimmers 
of  this  era  were  severely  restricted  in  the  range  of 
their  arm  strokes. 

Swimmers  were  told  to  maintain  a  flat  body 
position,  "like  a  plank  lying  on  the  water"  while  the 
arms  moved  round  and  round  as  they  pulled  and 
recovered.  To  keep  the  body  flat,  the  swimmer  was 
told  to  turn  the  head  to  inhale  only  when  the  arm 
on  the  breathing  side  had  completed  its  pull. 

The  leg  kick,  always  kept  even,  was  kept  wide 
and  deep  and  in  the  vertical  plane  throughout.  Still 
aiming  to  keep  the  body  flat,  the  kick — three  beats 
to  each  arm  pull — was  consciously  timed  in  with 
the  amis.  As  each  arm  started  its  pull,  the  leg  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  body  was  poised  to  start  its  kick. 

The  weight  of  each  shoulder  was  thrown  behind 
the  pulling  arm  as  it  started  its  stroke  simultaneously 
with  the  downbeat  of  the  opposite  leg  to  provide  a 
counterbalance  between  arm  pull  and  leg  kick.  This 
timing  between  pull  and  kick  was  considered  vital 
to  maintaining  the  much-sought-after  flat  body 
position. 

This  contrived  close  connection  between  arm 
pull  and  leg  action,  despite  the  theory  that  it  kept 
the  body  flat,  in  reality  caused  a  cramped  and 
laboured  style  of  swimming  that  hindered  any 
natural  tendency  towards  a  continuous  smooth- 
flowing  action. 

The  serious  drawback  to  swimming  in  a  flat 
position  was  that  it  restricted  the  range  of  the  arm 
stroke  and  the  movement  of  the  scapulae  necessary 
to  bring  the  large  trunk  muscles  more  powerfully 
into  the  pull. 

By  interfering  with  a  swimmer's  natural 
shoulder  roll,  the  concept  of  the  flat  body  position 
set  swimming  back  more  than  any  other 
mistaken  notion  in  the  history  of  the  sport.  In  a 


SWIMNEWS  SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER  2006

sense,  those  who  taught  swimmers  to  swim  with 
shoulders  held  flat  were  victims  of  their  time.  A 
comparison  between  motion  films  showing  the 
dramatic  changes  in  stroke  techniques  between 
the  stars  of  yesteryear  and  those  of  today,  should 
serve  as  a  reminder  to  today's  students  of  the 
sport  to  always  keep  an  open  mind,  and  not  to 
become  complacent. 

The  flat  body  position 

9.  Flat  body  position  with 
shoulders  squared  caused 
swimmers  to  catch  at  the 
surface,  thus  shortening 
the  stroke  out  front. 


10.  Ralph  Flanagan  swam  too  flat,  and  his  stroke 
cadence  was  too  slow  as  a  result  of  too  deep  an 
arm  pull  and  too  wide  a  kick. 


11.  Alan  Ford's  flat  body  position  restricted  the 
range  of  his  arm  pull.  His  pull  and  his  kick  were 
both  too  deep. 


3.  THE  "CATCH-UP"  STROKE 

Many  leading  swimmers  of  the  1930-1950  era 
swam  the  "catch-up"  stroke,  usually  typified  by 
the  long  forward  glide  in  front  of  the  body  before 
starting  the  stroke.  In  mid-stroke  the  amount 
of  overlap  between  the  arms  was  sometimes 
reduced  until  one  arm  formed  a  right-angle 
with  the  other:  A  pronounced  amount  of  surging 
was  apparent  as  each  arm  accelerated  through  a 
power- phase  at  the  end  of  the  stroke.

16. 1948  Olympic  Champion  Ann  Curtis'  catch-up  timing 


17. 1948  Olympic  Champion  Bill  Smith  rides  on  his 
forward  arm 

The  "catch-up"  stroke  was  performed  by 
extending  the  entry  arm  forward  just  below  the 
surface  of  the  water  while  the  pulling  arm  rapidly 
accelerated  through  to  the  end  of  the  stroke,  and 
then  was  flipped  quickly  forward  over  the  water  in 
relaxed  fashion  to  almost  catch  up  with  the  forward 
arm.  The  forward  arm  now,  in  turn,  moved  down 
and  back  into  the  propelling  phase  of  its  stroke.  The 
"catch-up"  stroke,  in  effect,  produced  two  different 
speeds  within  the  same  stroke  cycle — a  slow  stroke 
by  the  entering  arm  and  a  rapidly  accelerating 
stroke  by  the  pulling  arm. 

When  first  adopted,  the  "catch-up"  was  hailed 
as  a  big  energy-saving  advance  in  the  art  of  relaxed 
swimming.  However,  the  "catch-up  style"  not  only 
caused  alternating  periods  of  acceleration  and 
deceleration  within  the  arm-stroke  cycle,  but  also 
caused  the  legs  to  kick  harder  to  fill  in  the  dead 
spots  in  the  arm  stroke,  resulting  in  greater  oxygen 
demands  by  the  large  leg  muscles. 

(Conversely,  the  use  of  a  continuous  arm 
action,  with  reduced  emphasis  on  the  kick,  produces 
greater  propulsion  with  less  energy  expenditure.

Application  of  Force  in  Tiro  T)pes  of  Crawl  Stroke. " 
PhD.  dissertation.  University  of  Iowa,  1951)) 

The  "Bicycle"  Crawl  Kick  used  in 
"Catch-Up"  Swimming 

Armbruster  (1942  pg.78)  said  that  the  kick  that 
accompanied  the  "catch-up  arm  stroke"  could  be 
likened  to  the  motions  of  pedaling  a  bicycle.  "In 
riding  a  bicycle  the  pressure  is  exerted  on  the  balls  of 
the  feet,  whereas  in  the  crawl  kick  pressure  is  exerted 
alternately,  on  the  soles  of  the  feet  in  the  upward 
tread  and  on  the  instep  in  the  downward  tread.  The 
width  of  the  stride  should  be  18  to  26  inches." 

How  the  "Catch-Up  Stroke"  Was  Taught 

In  1950,  at  a  swim  clinic  at  the  Witwatersrand 


22 


SWIMNEWS  /  SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER  2006 


University  in  Johannesburg,  this  writer  learned 
at  first  hand  from  American  coach  Harold  Minto 
how  the  "catch-up"  stroke  was  taught.  Minto  was 
coach  of  Jimmy  McLane,  1948  Olympic  1500  metres 
champion,  and  one  of  the  "catch-up"  stroke's 
leading  advocates. 

The  swimmer  was  instructed  to  kick  steadily 
while  holding  both  arms  extended  out  front  with 
one  hand  placed  over  the  other.  While  the  lower 
arm  pulled  through  its  stroke  and  was  then  flipped 
quickly  over  the  water  into  the  recovery,  the  forward 
arm  remained  extended  in  front  of  the  swimmer 
until  the  recovery  hand  was  now  placed  on  top  of 
the  forward  hand. 

The  drill  was  repeated  in  sequence  until 
eventually  the  next  phase  was  introduced,  namely 
allowing  the  extended  forward  hand  to  start  its  pull 
a  split  second  before  the  recovery  hand  could  be 
placed  on  top  of  it,  and,  voila!,  the  swimmer  was 
doing  the  "catch-up"  stroke. 

Arm  Stroke  Was  a  "Double-Press" 

Coach  Minto  described  the  arm  pull  of  the  "catch- 
up" stroke  as  a  "double  press."  With  the  arm  held 
straight  throughout  the  stroke,  the  swimmer  pressed 
down  until  the  arm  reached  a  position  vertical  to 
the  surface  of  the  water.  This  was  the  first  press, 
and  the  second  press  was  when  the  arm  was  pressed 
backward  and  upward  until  it  reached  the  end  of  the 
stroke  at  the  hips. 

The  arm  action  was  accompanied  by  the  so- 
called  "bicycle  kick"  described  above,  in  which  the 
swimmer  was  asked  to  "shorten"  the  leg  by  having 
the  knee  precede  the  foot  in  the  downward  kick.  In 
the  upward  motion  of  the  kick,  the  idea  was  to  have 
the  leg  sweep  backward  and  upward  with  the  back  of 
the  knee,  the  popliteal  area,  leading  a  straightening 
and  stretching  action  of  the  leg  at  the  top  of  the 
kick. 

Produced  Too  Slow  a  Stroke  Cadence 

The  "broken  rhythm  timing"  of  the  "catch-up" 
arm  stroke,  combined  with  the  large,  wide-and- 
deep  bicycle  kick,  produced  a  stroke  cadence  that 
resulted  in  swimming  in  "overdrive,"  rather  than 
in  "direct"  gear.  The  leading  exponents  of  the 
"catch-up"  stroke  described  the  action  as  "feeling 
like  swimming  downhill."  Perhaps  they  were  going 
downhill  in  more  ways  than  one,  because  the  deep 
straight-arm  pull  combined  with  the  ultra-wide 
bicycle  kick  slowed  the  swimmer's  cadence. 

The  bottom  line  is  that,  compared  with  the 
continuous  timing  of  the  rotary  arm  stroke,  "catch- 
up stroke"  swimmers,  then  as  now,  swim  mostly  in 
overdrive  and  rarely  in  direct  gear,  except  to  change 
to  the  rotary  stroke  timing  to  put  in  a  fast  sprint  in  a 
short  distance  race,  or  at  the  end  of  a  distance  swim. 


FURUHASHI'S  BIG  BREAKTHROUGH 

At  the  1949  U.S.  national  championships, 
Hironoshin  Furuhashi  gained  sweeping  victories, 
especially  in  beating  the  1948  Olympic  champion 
Jimmy  Mclane's  world-record  time  of  19:18.5  for 
1500  m  Freestyle  Men  by  recording  18:19.0,  an 
improvement  of  almost  a  minute. 

His  unique  crawl  stroke  technique  was  analyzed 
underwater  by  Jamison  Handy,  a  Detroit  producer 
of  training  films,  using  35-millimetre  moving 
picture  film,  which  was  checked  frame  by  frame 
through  a  viewer  and  subsequently  with  the  prints. 
(Armbruster,  1952.  2nd  ed.  p.7) 


18.  Furuhashi — underwater  view  shows 
pronounced  body  roll;  left  leg  is  counter  balancing 
the  start  of  the  right-arm  pull,  while  right  leg  is 
poised  for  a  powerful  downward  whip-lash  kick 


19.  Furuhashi's  right  leg  thrusts  vigorously 
downward  with  a  whiplash  kick  in  time  with  the 
end  of  the  right-arm  pull.  Note  how  the  left  arm 
has  gone  directly  into  its  pull  instead  of  waiting  out 
front  for  an  overlapping  entry  by  the  opposite  arm 
as  performed  in  the  catch-up  stroke 


Furuhashi's  Stroke  Sequence 

The  sequence  showed  a  complete  stroke  starting 
and  ending  with  the  finish  of  the  right  arm  pull. 
The  rhythm  of  Furuhashi's  kick  was  that  of  a  four- 
beat  crawl  that  began  with  the  completion  of  a 
powerful  downbeat  of  the  right  leg.  There  followed 
(a)  a  slight  beat  of  the  left  leg  with  a  movement 
that  suggested  balance  rather  than  propulsion. 
Then  came  (b)  the  recovery  of  the  right  leg,  which 
then  kicked  downward  and  backward  with  a  terrific 
whiplash.  The  left  leg  beat  (c)  that  followed  was  not 
very  powerful  but  slightly  greater  than  its  balancing 
movement  already  seen.  There  followed  (d)  another 
powerful  whiplash  kick  of  the  right  leg.  (Kiphuth 
and  Burke,  1951.  p.  116) 

The  beats  of  the  right  leg  were  made  during 
the  second  half  of  the  pull  of  both  the  right  and  left 
arms,  which  accounted  for  Furuhashi's  high  upper 


back  position  and  the  bounciness  of  his  stroke. 

By  using  a  four-beat  kick  instead  of  the 
conventional  six-beat  kick  used  by  most  swimmers 
at  that  time,  some  of  the  parasitic  drag  of  the  legs 
during  the  arm  pull  was  reduced,  thus  eliminating 
the  need  for  a  supporting  initial  slide  of  the  arm  at 
the  entry  so  that  the  arm  started  its  pull  earlier  and 
was  thus  more  effective. 

A  Revolutionary  Technique 

In  effect,  Furuhashi's  action  had  not  the  slightest 
hint  of  a  "catch-up"  motion  of  the  arms  in  relation 
to  each  other.  Furuhashi's  reducing  the  tempo  of  the 
kick  from  a  standard  six-beat  enabled  him  to  swim 
a  true  wheel-like  rotary  stroke  with  no  remaining 
semblance  of  the  retarding  stop-start  action  of  the 
"catch-up"  stroke. 

And  so  it  was  that  the  Japanese,  who  had  initially 
popularized  the  "catch-up"  stroke  at  the  1932  and 
1936  Olympics,  now  produced  a  great  swimmer  who 
showed  up  the  shortcomings  in  this  much-vaunted 
technique. 

However,  the  Japanese  coaches  at  the  time 
maintained  that  Furahashi's  stroke  could  not  be 
imitated  by  anyone  but  another  Furahashi,  and 
that  the  average  swimmer  who  attempted  it  would 
merely  go  more  slowly  than  if  he  swam  the  standard 
six-beat  crawl  with  the  "catch-up"  arm  stroke.  They 
added  that  it  was  rigid  training  that  had  enabled 
Furahashi  to  swim  anywhere  from  200  to  1500 
metres  at  speeds  never  before  equaled  by  any  human 
being.  (Kiphuth  and  Burke,  1951.  p.ll6) 

But  those  experts  who  came  to  Furuhashi's 
defence  said  that  there  was  more  to  his  success  than 
merely  harder  training  and  that  his  technique  was 
ahead  of  its  time.  They  must  have  realized  that 
there  is  a  difference  between  faulty  technique  and 
idiosyncrasy. 

The  solution  of  swimming  has  shown  that 
what  is  idiosyncrasy  one  year  often  becomes  the 
accepted  technique  of  the  future.  ■

Golden  Girl:  How  Natalie  Coughlin  Fought  Back, 
Challenged  Conventional  Wisdom,  and  Became 
America's  Olympic  Champion 

By  Michael  Silver  with  Natalie  Coughlin 
285  pages,  $33.95  CAD  hardcover 
Rodale  Inc.,  2006 

Nikki  Dryden 

When  I  picked  up  the  new  biography  of  Natalie  Coughlin,  I  have  to  admit,  I  was 
a  bit  over  the  whole  swimmer  biography.  I  mean  I  love  swimming,  but  I  had  just 
finished  Ian  Thorpe's  bio  and  an  autobiography  of  Michael  Phelps,  and  I  was 
dreading  the  whole "...  at  6,  Natalie  was  a  natural  in  the  water"  thing.  Much  to 
my  pleasant  surprise,  Golden  Girl  is  much  better  than  a  biography,  and  there 
was  very  little  about  Natalie's  early  life,  with  the  focus  of  the  book  on  the  2004 
Olympic  year  and  the  swimming  philosophy  of 
0-     her  coach,  Teri  McKeever. 

In  fact,  the  book  delves  much  deeper  into 
McKeever's  psyche  than  into  Coughlin's,  and 
the  interesting  tidbits  and  quotes  come  from  a 
variety  of  people  including  Dave  Salo  (former 
Irvine  coach  and  new  head  coach  at  USC), 
stroke  guru  Milt  Nelms,  backstroke  star  and 
Playboy  poser,  Haley  Cope,  and  the  women  of 
the  Cal-Berkeley  swim  team. 

There  is  more  dish  in  this  book  than  the 
last  few  I  have  read,  and  its  juiciness  was  hard 
to  put  down.  From  former  Cal  assistant  Mike 
Walker  to  former  Stanford  coach  Richard 
Quick,  Golden  Girl  author  Mike  Silver  of  Sports  Illustrated  says  quite  a  bit 
about  McKeever's  feelings  and  views  on  the  two  men,  and  more. 

If  you  aren't  familiar  with  the  players  in  the  book — mostly  top  US  college 
coaches  and  a  bevy  of  California  college  girls — then  the  amount  of  insight  into 
Coughlin  and  her  Olympic  dream  may  not  be  enough  to  pull  you  through.  But 
if  you  even  know  a  bit  of  what  was  going  on  in  the  US  prior  to  Athens,  you  will 
find  this  book  a  dishy  delight. 

That  said,  the  book  is  very  pro  Cal-athletics,  as  its  author  is  himself  an 
alumnus.  However,  it  is  quite  cute  most  of  the  time,  and  what  is  a  bit  more 
annoying  is  the  repetition  of  certain  points  and  the  very  unsubtle  attempt  at 
swaying  the  reader  to  McKeever  and  Coughlin's  swimming  philosophy,  which 
they  say  is  revolutionary. 

I've  always  deeply  admired  Coughlin.  She  is  poised,  mature,  and  always 
smiling.  I  have  never  quite  understood  her  decision  not  to  swim  the  200  back. 
Perhaps  that's  because  I  was  a  200  backstroker,  but  it  is  just  incomprehensible  to 
me  that  someone  who  is  the  best  in  the  world  at  something  would  choose  not  to 
participate.  Almost  300  pages  later,  I  still  don't  quite  get  it,  but  I  do  understand 
her  a  lot  more,  and  appreciate  her  willingness  to  put  her  frailties  and  failures 
down  on  paper  for  the  world  to  read. 

If  you  think  you  know  everything  about  what  it  takes  to  be  the  best  swimmer 
in  the  world,  you  need  to  read  this  book.  Coughlin  and  McKeever  have  proven 
that  you  don't  have  to  train  like  an  animal  to  break  world  records  and  win 
Olympic  golds.  There  is  a  lot  in  this  book  I  wish  I  had  known  about  when  I 
was  still  swimming.  They've  successfully  begun  to  change  the  old  paradigm  of 
swimming  fast  and  proven  that  girls  can  rule.  ■

COMMENTARY 


IOC  FIDDLES  WHILE  ITS  OLYMPIC  SPIRIT  BURNS 
Morning  finals  in  Beijing  condemned  world-wide 


Craig  Lord 

Swimmers  and  coaches  the  world  over  have 
condemned  the  IOC's  decision  to  stage  swimming 
finals  in  the  morning  in  Beijing  as  a  victory  for 
the  dollar  over  the  Olympic  spirit,  voices  of  support 
coming  as  lonely  noises  from  within  the  US.  Jaques 
Rogge — they  thought  you  were  better  than  that. 
How  disappointed  are  they  now? 

As  Olympic  champion  Roland  Schoeman 
of  South  Africa,  put  it  to  the  Los  Angeles  Times: 
"I  think  it's  an  indication  of  the  times  we  live  in. 
Whereas  the  Olympics  were  founded  on  the  ideals 
of  fair  play  and  fair  sport,  and  amateurism,  and 
now  where  a  television  station  can  purchase  when 
they  want  the  Olympic  Games  finals  to  be  held,  it's 
just  really  ridiculous  to  me.  I  don't  think  they  were 
taking  the  swimmers  into  consideration  at  all.  It's 
what  was  better  for  NBC  and  what  was  better  for  the 
American  public,  not  the  swimmers." 

Said  an  NBC  spokesperson:  "In  terms  of 
recommendations,  we  and  many  others  make 
recommendations  to  the  IOC,  just  as  we  always 
had.  And  many  constituent  groups  make 
recommendations  for  various  reasons.  We're  pleased 
with  the  IOC  announcement  from  Beijing  that  will 
allow  the  two  most  popular  summer  Olympic  sports 
in  the  US  to  be  seen  here  mostly  live." 

Well,  no  mistaking  it  there;  not  a  hint  of  trying 
to  disguise  its  parochial  interests,  interests  that  fly 
in  the  face  of  the  vast — and  very  vast — majority  of 
opinion  in  the  swimming  world.  It  is  the  kind  of  stuff 
that  has  led  certain  factions  and  nations  around 
the  world  to  speak  of  their  "hatred"  of  America.  Of 
course,  no  one  condones  that  and  there  are  many 
American  voices  who  have  spoken  up  for  reason  and 
the  right  way  to  go  about  things. 

Sadly,  there  have  also  been  statements  like  those 
from  NBC,  USA  Swimming,  and  gymnastics,  which 
have  been  truly  unpalatable  to  the  rest  of  the  world. 

Take  this  self-serving  garbage,  for  example: 
"This  is  our  biggest  chance  to  showcase  who  and 
what  we  are,  and  being  in  prime  time  guarantees 
having  as  many  people  as  possible  tuned  in.  We 
believe  this  is  one  of  the  best  ways  for  the  Olympic 
movement  to  remain  relevant  to  American  fans," 
said  Steve  Penny,  president  of  USA  Gymnastics. 

Stuff  the  rest  of  the  world  and  their  viewers, 
then.  They  can  go  to  hell,  presumably,  or  just  stop 
whinging  and  get  up  in  the  middle  of  the  night  or 
whenever  else  it  suits  America  to  watch  TV. 


US  Trials  will  have  evening  finals 

The  USA  will  not  be  switching  its  Olympic  trials 
format  in  Omaha  in  2008:  finals  will  be  in  the 
evening.  "It's  not  only  the  selection  meet,  but  it's  a 
big  event  for  USA  Swimming,"  said  Bob  Bowman, 
Michael  Phelps'  coach,  of  the  Omaha  trials.  "To 
preserve  it  as  a  big  event,  you  want  as  many  people 
as  you  can  get  in  the  stands,  and  that  means  night 
finals." 

Precisely  Bob.  Well  done.  You  spotted  it. 
Domestic  night  finals  for  a  US  audience.  Why  not 
have  international  night  finals  in  tune  with  the 
country  and  the  region  of  the  world  actually  hosting 
the  Games?  Now  wouldn't  that  be  a  way  of  showing 
you  care  about  the  Olympic  spirit  and  the  rest  of  the 
world?  I've  met  Bob  Bowman  several  times.  He's  a 
great  coach,  a  decent  man,  and  struck  me  as  being 
very  bright  indeed.  Statements  of  self-interest  are  at 
odds  with  the  character  I  met.  One  question  I'd  love 
to  have  a  direct  answer  to,  if  you're  out  there  Bob: 
please  assure  us  that  you  found  out  about  the  NBC's 
request  at  the  same  time  as  the  rest  of  the  world  (I 
take  it  to  be  so) — a  world  that  would  today  have 
boasted  a  few  more  friends  of  America  had  self- 
interest  not  been  served. 

An  affront  to  world  swimming 

Take  the  following  from  J]  Madrigal,  an  Olympian 
in  1996  and  2000  for  Costa  Rica:  "This  is  a  great 
mistake  and  an  affront  to  world  swimming... the 
athletes  will  suffer  once  more  for  a  decision  taken 
around  a  table.  It  wasn't  enough  that  the  experience 
of  Seoul  (where  so  many  suffered  poor  performances 
on  the  one  chance  of  their  career  to  excel)  and  what 
it  signified,  and  what  it  will  signify  again,  for  the 
careers  of  swimmers. .  .what  a  pity  that  money  is 
more  powerful  than  sport  and  its  athletes." 

JJ  makes  other  worthy  comments  but  the  one 
above  sums  up  the  feeling  of  so  many  who  feel  that 
their  voices  are  not  heard  in  their  own  sport. 

Schoeman 's  voice  is  heard,  of  course,  even  if 
the  IOC  ignored  it.  He  trains  in  Tuscon,  Arizona — a 
great  place.  And  let's  be  very  clear  here:  there  can  be 
no  question  that  the  US  does  way  more  than  its  fair 
share — and  has  done  for  many  a  long  year — for 
the  development  of  world  swimming.  For  the  record, 
I  am  a  huge  fan  of  US  swimming,  and  some  of  the 
characters  I've  met  and  come  to  know  over  the  years 
are  among  the  finest  people  you'd  care  to  meet. 
Schoeman  may  feel  the  same  about  some  of  those 
he  has  worked  and  lived  with  in  Arizona.  He  is  also 


clearly  totally  opposed  to  the  IOC  move  and  the  self- 
serving  nonsense  that  accompanies  it. 

The  South  African  estimates  that  he  will  have 
to  get  out  of  bed  at  3  a.m.  if  finals  start  at  9  a.m. 
I  wonder  how  many  IOC  chiefs  will  be  up  to  offer 
words  of  encouragement  and  support — not  just 
in  Beijing  but  in  the  many  months  leading  up  to 
it  during  which  swimmers,  coaches,  parents,  and 
others  around  the  world  will  have  their  lives  turned 
upside  down. 

"If  NBC  said  'We'll  put  up  $100,000  for  every 
gold  medal,  etc'  then  that's  fine,"  Schoeman  said.  "If 
they  want  me  to  swim  at  1  in  the  morning,  then  I'll 
swim  at  1  in  the  morning."  Not  a  bad  point,  Roland, 
one  the  IOC  should  consider — they  certainly  have 
enough  money  to  offer  goodly  prizes,  or  would  have 
if  they  changed  their  spending  habits. 

Unfair  competition 

China,  of  course,  as  host,  has  the  biggest  reason 
to  complain.  Head  coach  Zhang  Yadong  led  the 
way,  saying  that  the  host  nation  would  be  unfairly 
disadvantaged  by  a  decision  that  went  against  the 
spirit  of  fair  play  (yes,  there  is  a  deep  irony  in  that 
statement  from  Chinese  swimming,  though  in  this 
case  it  rings  most  true). 

"It  will  be  an  unfair  competition,"  Zhang  said  in 
a  statement.  "I  don't  see  how  the  Olympic  spirit  can 
be  seen  in  this  decision,  I  doubt  it  is.  Next  year  we'll 
have  to  reschedule  all  the  domestic  tournaments 
to  match  the  time  of  the  Olympic  finals.  We'll 
have  to  gradually  move  the  wake-up  time  of  our 
swimmers  back  to  6:30  a.m.  and  start  training  at 
8:30.  As  the  decision  won't  be  changed,  this  is  the 
only  thing  we  can  do.  The  European  and  American 
swimmers,  in  particular  the  Americans,  will  have  a 
big  advantage." 

Learning  from  sports  with  morning  finals 

In  Australia,  head  coach  Alan  Thompson,  second- 
guessing  the  IOC,  asked  Dr  David  Pine  to  look  into 
the  impact  of  morning  finals  two  months  ago. 
shortly  after SmmNew  broke  the  story7  about  NBC's 
request  and  the  IOC's  intentions. 

Dr  Pine's  draft  report  will  be  handed  to  coaches 
in  Sydney  this  weekend,  when  Thompson  is  at  the 
helm  of  a  garnering  of  sports  worthies  to  brain- 
storm the  issue  of  morning  finals. 

Stephan  Widmer,  coach  of  Leisel  Jones  and  Libby 
Lenton,  told  the  Australian  media  that  he  believed 
the  last  three  months  before  the  Games  would  be 


26 


SWIMNEWS  /  SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER  2006 


the  most  critical  in  terms  of  altering  preparation. 
The  issue  of  how  fast  swimmers  could  race  in  the 
morning  was  unknown,  given  that  it  had  so  rarely 
happened  on  the  biggest  of  occasions. 

Thompson,  like  head  coaches  around  the  world, 
said  that  everyone  in  swimming  would  and  could 
simply  adapt  to  the  new  conditions.  He  added:  "The 
only  thing  that  gets  me  cranky  is  that  (the  IOC)  have 
made  the  decision  for  commercial  reasons,  not  for 
the  good  of  the  sport." 

Australian  swimming  coaches  will  hear  Brian 
Richardson,  head  coach  of  the  AIS  rowing  team,  in 
Sydney  this  weekend.  "One  of  the  items  he's  going 
to  talk  to  us  about  is  how  the  rowing  team  attack 
the  morning  finals.  Their  assaults  on  the  Olympic 
Games  have  been  very  successful,  and  we'll  certainly 
be  using  his  expertise  on  the  weekend  and  in  the 
next  few  months,"  said  Thompson. 

Canada  will  follow  and  consult  the  rowers  about 
coping  with  morning  finals. 

The  ripple  effect 

Many  of  the  world's  top  swimmers  will  rise  as  early 
as  4am,  train  hardest  at  dawn  not  dusk,  eat  three 
breakfasts  a  day,  skip  lunch,  have  dinner  at  noon, 
sleep  in  recovery  suits  and  spend  much  of  their  time 
in  the  China  time  zone  in  the  lead-up  to  the  Beijing 
Olympics  following  the  International  Olympic 
Committee's  decision  to  switch  finals  from  their 
traditional  evening  slot  to  mornings  in  the  pool  in 
2008. 

Team  Britain,  Sweetenham  told  SwimNews  and 
The  Times  of  London,  will  also  compete  at  the  Seven 
Hills  International  in  Rome  next  summer,  Italian 
organisers  among  the  first  to  announce  that  they 
will  stage  morning  finals  as  a  way  of  rehearsing  for 
Beijing.  The  Britain  director  has  also  called  on  the 
European  swimming  league  (LEN)  to  stage  finals  at 
its  long-course  championships  in  Eindhoven  in  2008 
in  the  morning.  That  is  unlikely  to  happen  for  the 
same  reason  that  Beijing  will  stage  morning  finals 
because  NBC  has  a  US  audience  to  please:  European 
broadcasters  will  not  want  to  go  live  at  10am  when 
audiences  are  low. 

"We  have  some  serious  thinking  to  do  about  how 
we  go  about  the  next  two  years,"  Sweetenham  said. 
"We  have  to  take  steps  to  ensure  that  our  swimmers 
will  be  ready  to  race  at  peak  in  the  morning.  The 
Beijing  Games  will  be  no  place  for  the  swimmer  who 
can't  race  fast  in  the  morning.  It  will  mean  turning 
their  day  on  its  head. 

"There's  a  problem  with  swimming  evening 
heats  and  morning  finals  in  that  your  whole 
recovery  time  is  passive  -  you're  asleep.  Swimmers 
do  their  hardest  training  sets  in  the  evening,  when 
their  bodies  are  ready  and  before  an  evening  and 
night  when  they  have  the  longest  time  to  recover. 
We've  effectively  been  asked  to  reverse  the  circadian 


rhythm." 

Levels  of  hormones  and  flexibility  of  the 
body  change  throughout  any  given  day.  Scientific 
research  suggests  that  an  athlete  is  not  as  flexible  in 
the  morning  as  they  are  later  in  the  day  after  hours 
of  moving  around,  eating,  drinking  and  exercising 
body  and  mind.  No  amount  of  stretching  can  change 
that,  many  sports  scientists  believe. 

European  Broadcasters  Protest 

The  European  Broadcasting  Union  has  formally 
protested  against  the  International  Olympic 
Committee's  unpopular  decision  to  hold  Olympic 
swimming  and  gymnastic  finals  in  the  morning 
during  the  2008  Olympic  Games  in  Beijing. 

The  IOC  made  its  decision  for  commercial 
reasons,  NBC,  the  US  broadcaster  and  Olympic 
rights  holder,  having  requested  morning  finals  to 
suit  its  domestic  advertising  planning. 

Good  news  for  NBC  and  those  who  pay  it  for 
advertising,  good  news,  perhaps,  for  US  viewers, 
but  very  bad  news  indeed  for  China,  Australia  and 
European  nations,  which,  the  EBU  notes,  will  now 
have  to  broadcast  swim  finals  in  the  middle  of  the 
night  when  audiences  are  low. 

"With  this  decision  the  IOC  ends  the  tradition 
of  staging  these  finals  in  the  evening  irrespective  of 
the  time  zone  at  the  venue,"  said  the  EBU,  which 
represents  public  service  broadcasters  in  Europe  and 
neighboring  regions. 

The  EBU  said  it  told  the  IOC  that  the  decision 
meant  "viewers  in  Europe  as  well  as  the  vast  majority 
of  the  global  TV  audience  will  be  disadvantaged." 

The  EBU  describes  itself  as  the  largest 
professional  association  of  national  broadcasters  in 
the  world,  with  74  active  members  in  54  countries 
of  Europe,  North  Africa  and  the  Middle  East,  and 
44  associate  members  in  25  other  countries.  It 
negotiates  broadcasting  rights  for  major  sports 
events  on  behalf  of  its  members  and  operates  the 
Eurovision  and  Euroradio  networks. 

Beyond  the  needs  of  broadcasters,  the  written 
media  is  also  affected:  European  newspapers  will 
have  to  wait  more  than  24  hours  before  bringing 
news  of  live  finals  to  their  readers.  Coverage  of 
swimming  will  suffer  as  a  result. 

Bussiness  as  usual  at  the  IOC 

Meanwhile,  amid  the  storm,  the  IOC  appears  to  be 
somewhat  aloof  and  even  disrespectful  of  the  views 
of  swimmers  and  swim  coaches.  Here  is  the  news 
agenda  in  its  bulletin  today — on  the  day  when  the 
world  of  swimming  is  calling  the  Olympic  movement 
a  fool: 

1.  Beijing  2008:  on  track  with  bid  assurances 
materialising  The  IOC's  Coordination  Commission 
for  the  Games  of  the  XXIX  Olympiad:  Beijing  2008 
today  concluded  its  seventh  visit  to  Beijing  since  the 


Chinese  capital  was  awarded  the  Olympic  Games  in 
2001. 

Splendid 

2.  IOC  President  Meets  Chinese  Prime  Minister 
As  he  continued  his  visit  to  the  next  host  city  of  the 
Olympic  Games  -  Beijing:  IOC  President  Jacques 
Rogge  today  met  with  the  Chinese  Prime  Minister, 
Wenjiabao. 

How  nice  for  them  both 

3.  World  Forum  on  Sport,  Olympic  Education 
and  Culture  Closes  in  Beijing  The  5th  World  Forum 
on  Sport,  Olympic  Education  and  Culture  held  under 
the  theme  'Sport  and  a  World  of  Harmony'  closed  in 
Beijing  on  Tuesday. 

Grand 

4.  World  Sport  for  All  Congress  in  Havana  The 
1 1th  edition  of  the  World  Sport  for  All  Congress  is 
being  held  for  the  first  time  in  Havana  (Cuba)  from 
31  October  to  3  November  2006. 

Terrific. . .  and  even  better: 

5.  The  Values  of  the  Olympic  Movement 
Zhenliang  He,  Chairman  of  the  IOC  Education  and 
Culture  Commission,  explains  how  the  Commission 
is  using  a  combination  of  traditional  and  modem 
ways  to  introduce  millions  of  Chinese  children  to  the 
values  of  the  Olympic  Movement. . . 

What  values  of  the  Olympic  movement,  we 
wonder.  Values  like,  if  a  huge  community  of  people 
tell  you  they're  unhappy  with  something  but  there's 
money  to  be  made  from  it,  do  it  anyway. 

6.  Preview  of  the  exhibition  125  Years  of 
Gymnastics  On  Tuesday  24  October,  the  Olympic 
Museum  celebrated  the  preview  of  a  new  temporary 
exhibition  entitled  125  Years  of  Gymnastics. . . 

Great — shame  so  few  in  Europe  will  see  any 
gymnastics  finals  given  that  it'll  be  about  3  a.m. 
when  NBC  provides  the  live  feed. 

And  last,  but  definitely  not  least,  this  little  gem: 

7.  Angel  or  Demon?  The  choice  of  Fair  Play 
exhibition  Until  5  November  2006.  Whether  in  sport 
or  in  our  daily  lives,  human  beings  choose,  suffer  or 
impose  their  behaviour.  In  competition  as  in  play, 
the  balance  between  self  control  and... 

You  couldn't  make  it  up. 

Unable  to  say  no 

What  is  needed  was  for  FINA  and  US  Swimming  to 
bang  a  loud  fist  on  the  IOC  table  and  say  "No  way!"  For 
differing  reasons,  they  felt  unable  to  do  so  and  the  rest  of 
the  swimming  world  will  now  pay  the  price  of  having  to 
reinvent  their  programming  to  suit  the  commercial  needs 
of  NBC.  In  effect,  the  US  broadcaster  owns  swimming  for 
at  least  the  next  two  years.  That  should  not  be. 

And  in  conclusion,  if  anyone  out  there  feels  that  the 
above  is  a  tad  disrespectful  of  anyone  or  any  body,  all  I 
can  say  is:  imagine  how  thousands  of  swimmers,  coaches, 
and  associated  people  are  feeling  around  the  swimming 
world  right  now.  Respect  is  a  two-way  street.  ■
